Book Presentation:
Though it lasted just two seasons, Twin Peaks (1990–1991) raised the bar for television and is now considered one of the great dramas in TV history. Its complex plots and sensational visuals both inspired and alienated audiences. After 25 years, the cult classic is being revived.
This collection of new essays explores its filmic influences, its genre-bending innovations and its use of horror and science fiction conventions, from the original series through the earlier film prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and subsequent video releases.
About the authors:
Eric Hoffman, a poet and essayist, is the author of sixteen books and lives in Connecticut.
Dominick Grace, a professor of English at Brescia University College, has published numerous articles on subjects ranging from medieval and early modern literature to contemporary popular culture. He lives in London, Ontario, Canada.
Press Reviews:
"This new collection of essays on the original series will enrich and expand discussions and debates about one of television’s most controversial, confounding, innovative and bizarre shows of all time. This scholarly collection will open up many new realms of exploration"—Pop Culture Classics.
