Summary
"Grossman and Scheibel's Twin Peaks provides a production and reception history of Mark Frost and David Lynch's Twin Peaks (ABC, 1990-1991) and its continuation on Showtime in 2017 (The Return). The reappearance of the same actors more than two and half decades after the 1991 cancellation functions as more than a mere return to a narrative universe, but as a reminder that texts and selves are always moving in time together. The book analyzes aesthetic and ideological concerns of authorship, genre, acting, and gender representation, as well as issues of television paratextuality. The authors approach Twin Peaks in its multiple worlds, making a case for its inclusion as a TV Milestone with chapters on production and reception history, the genres of melodrama and noir, the femme fatale character archetype, actor performances that span decades, and the various adaptation, remediation, and transmedia storytelling of Twin Peaks across multiple platforms"--
