David Lynch and Mark Frost's television series "Twin Peaks" debuted
in April 1990 and by June of 1991 had been cancelled. Yet the
impact of this surreal, unsettling show--ostensibly about the
search for homecoming queen Laura Palmer's killer--is far larger
than its short run might indicate. A forerunner of the moody,
disjointed, cinematic television shows that are commonplace today,
"Twin Peaks" left a lasting impression, and nowhere is that more
clear than in the devotion of its legions of loyal fans.
"Fan Phenomena: Twin Peaks" is the first book of its kind to
revisit Lynch and Frost's groundbreaking series and explore how the
show's cult status continues to thrive in the digital era. In ten
essays, the contributors take a deeper look at "Twin Peaks"' rich
cast of characters, iconic locations, and its profound impact on
television programming, as well as the impact of new media and fan
culture on the show's continued relevance. Written by fans for
fans, "Fan Phenomena: Twin Peaks" is an intelligent yet accessible
guide to the various aspects of the show and its subsequent film.
Featuring commentary from both first generation and more recent
followers, these essays capture the endlessly fascinating universe
of Twin Peaks, from Audrey Horne's keen sense of style to Agent
Cooper's dream psychology.
The first non-academic collection that speaks to the show's fan
base rather than a scholarly audience, this book is more
approachable than previous "Twin Peaks" critical studies volumes
and features color images of the series, film, and fan media. It
will be welcomed by anyone seduced by the strangeness and camp of
Lynch's seminal series.
