Editorial Reviews

Anyone who thinks this book is meant only for TV cultists is badly mistaken. This is surely one of the most intelligent, exciting, and wide-ranging looks at the postmodern mediascope yet written. Essential reading for anyone interested in the aesthetics, history, and politics of American popular culture at the close of the twentieth century.--Allison Graham "The Univeristy of Memphis "

The Univeristy of Memphis - Allison Graham

Essential reading for "Peakies," fans of director David Lynch's cult TV series "Twin Peaks." Contains critical essays, plus lists of cast members, directors, and writers for each episode, a calendar of red- letter dates in the show's convoluted plot, and a scene breakdown of every episode. Essays discuss topics such as the art and politics of the show, its use of music, a feminist reading of "Twin Peaks," and postmodernism and television. No pictures. Annotation c.
