The Secret History of Twin Peaks

Product Information

But if it is intentional, why? What’s the point of rewriting or ignoring what was previously established? (And for a show which made a name for itself by demanding that viewers pay close attention to details, no less). Throughout the book, seemingly random words are underlined, although compiling them together has not yet yielded anything useful. Lana Milford, play largely for laughs on the television program, as a woman so sexy it can kill older men, is reframed in The Secret History as a complex assassin. The book states that Douglas Milford changed the name of the Twin Peaks Gazette to the Twin Peaks Post prior to when the series takes place although characters still call it the Gazette.

Agent Preston mentions that Cooper was shot by Windom Earle, whereas it’s always been made emphatically clear that Coop had been stabbed. Additionally, it states that Crowley's book, Moonchild, was published in 1923, whereas it was actually published in 1917. There is also a surprising amount of insight into Dr. Jacoby himself, particularly his beliefs as a New Age-y hippie psychiatrist. His final evaluation of Laura Palmer’s case — where he openly debates whether or not Leland was truly possessed by a paranormal entity, or if BOB was simply a delusion shared by Laura and Leland to shield them from the truth of incest and sexual abuse —breaks down one of the central arguments of the show. (And some excerpts from Jacoby’s psychonautical tome The Eye of God suggest that Walter Bishop from Fringe might not have been lying when he claimed to be one of Jacoby’s friends, as they definitely appear to have traveled in the same circles). I imagine that, for those who want the second season’s references to ufology and aliens to be either a red herring or simply a metaphor for the metaphysical shenanigans of the Lodges, some will be disappointed to see Twin Peaks more openly indulging in straight sci-fi. But it’s important to keep in mind that Peaks always bent genres — mystery, comedy, soap opera, horror, etc. — and as such, this is par for the course.

The Bookhouse Boys include Lucy, but they don’t. Just as Lucy is part of the police force, but not too much. The archivist's "faithful Corona" does not have a * key even though he typed this symbol several times, including under this very picture. Other symbols such as the # and “ ” marks are also not on the depicted corona, which appears to be a 1939 Corona Standard with a German QWERTZ keyboard. While Corona has produced QWERTZ typewriters, those in the Standard series are uncommon if they ever even existed.

He wonders if Sarah Palmer suffered trauma that created a vulnerability — a huge foreshadowing into what we later learn about Sarah in The Return: that she has potentially been “possessed” by some evil force since she was a young girl growing up in New Mexico. All in all, The Secret History of Twin Peaks represents something we’ve never really seen before. Though David Lynch and Mark Frost created the series together, Lynch in some ways becomes the final author in terms of visuals and mood, since the episodes are filtered through his sensibilities. Here, with this book, we finally are permitted a glimpse into a Twin Peaks with just Mark Frost at the wheel. Actually, that’s mostly it. There really aren’t any more answers about the deluge of cliffhangers for the end of the series.The first televised season had a celebrated red color grading, tinting nearly all shots with a warm red that coupled with an avoidance of any rich blues in shot, gave the series a built-in sense of immediate nostalgia and familiarity. The closest stylistic predecessor to The Secret History, would be the Incunabula Papers, aka the Ong’s Hat conspiracy, a long-form collaborative work of pseudo-nonfiction by divers hands, including Joseph Matheny, Peter Lamborn Wilson, and journalists who shall remain nameless, which was presented as a collection of found documents, including a rare book catalog and a flyer for a meditation retreat.

Revisiting the entirety of The Secret History of Twin Peaks under the lens of Dr Jacoby’s optical integration system and its underlying perceptual/interpretive notions, as detailed in his typo-beset report to Calhoun Memorial Hospital, we can utilize anaglyph glasses to discover, looking through one lens alone or the other, hidden images, or use of both lenses simultaneously to discover 3D or energetic fx. The owls may indeed not be what they seem but still serve an imperative function: They remind us to look into the darkness.” I previously wrote about some of the many inconsistencies found in the Secret History and wondered if the differences between book and TV show could be chalked up to different universes/timelines or possibly someone doctoring the contents of the dossier to misdirect the FBI. Perhaps there’s a timeline out there in which Ben Horne concludes his Civil War delusion with the North winning the war instead of the South?
