Full Description
Like the series' trademark pie, John Anthony Dunne and Kris Song's exploration into David Lynch's Twin Peaks leaves you hungry for more.
This volume investigates the religious, theological, spiritual, and supernatural elements across the series' two original seasons (ABC, 1990), the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) film, and its third and final season, often referred to as The Return (Showtime, 2017). Zooming in on iconic aspects like the Log Lady, the Red Room, and Laura Palmer's catalyzing murder, the contributors present fresh, thought-provoking insights into the oft-discussed cult classic. This volume's subjects, like Twin Peaks itself, frustrates and compels at the same time, inviting deeper exploration into the series' religious and theological significance.
