Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier
by Mark Frost
Many people will finish watching the recent season of Twin Peaks and feel no particular need to go seeing supplementary material - let the ambiguities and mysteries and perplexities be their own reward. Others might say, well, just as David Lynch is a superb director, so Mark Frost is an excellent novelist, so why not dip in and see what embellishments he has to add?
Final Dossier is not as epic in scope as the previous volume. Mostly it fills in blanks left by the series regarding the fates and activities of the characters between seasons, and hints about afterwards. (Hinting that there is an afterward is a pretty big thing in itself.) Many are fraught and tragic because this is Twin Peaks. Some are quite, if not happy, then satisfying. Some are puzzlingly unstatisfying, one can only assume by design, since this is twin peaks. Some only add to the perplexity. And one or two are hapy. I'll say no more.
Its a quick read, it might add to your enjoyment, it probably won't detract, but it might provide some narrative solidity to the surreal mysteries. With that in mind, choose for yourself if that's your thing.
