Full of Secrets is the complete source book on ""Twin Peaks"", the
first foray into television for prominent film director David
Lynch. Addressing a wide variety of topics, including the series'
cult status, its obsession with doubling, and its silencing of
women, this diverse group of essays analyses the series from
feminist, deconstructionist and semiotic perspectives. The show,
which earned 14 Emmy nominations in its first season, was
originally tauted as capable of changing television forever. Due to
its unique visual style, its resistance of stereotype - it was a
hybrid of FBI drama, murder mystery, soap opera, comedy and
commercial - and its controversial subject matter centred around
father-daughter incest, ""Twin Peaks"" was, for a time, the most
talked about show on television. Because it was at once subversive
and innovative, many found it hard to believe that this moody,
bizarre, intertextual, and self-referential series found an
audience on network television. To help explain the phenomenon,
""Full of Secrets"" looks at ""Twin Peaks"" from a critical and
interpretive standpoint. In doing so, the book not only acts as an
essential guide to the series, but it also raises questions about
the very nature and function of television in the 1990s. Containing
virtually everything necessary for an in-depth examination of the
series' importance and meaning, this book also features a director
and writer list, a cast list, a ""Twin Peaks"" calendar, a complete
scene breakdown for the entire series, and a comprehensive
bibliography.
