We’re dusting off some weighty tomes as we dive (deep) into the hitherto unknown and unexplored depths of Mark Frost’s “The Secret History of Twin Peaks.” So many questions!! Order up some extra hash browns and ask Norma to put on a new pot of coffee, because we’re going to be here for a while. This week, Damon challenges us to question the veracity of everything we read; Jonathan contemplates the value of extending this narrative (and others) into historical contexts; Colin asks whether this could or perhaps should have been part of the recent boom in Native-driven creative entertainment; and Jennifer reflects on Josie, and other femmes fatales in the show. For our standard book-based Twist, we ask: Okay, but is it canon?
