The Secret History of Twin Peaks

Product Information

Jacoby sympathized a great deal with Nadine when he treated her in 1987, thinking that she is concealing shame, that she sensed something was going on in her life that she didn’t want to see and shut down the part of the brain that would process this shame. Years later, Jacoby evidently still thinks very highly of her during their encounter in Part 13 of The Return.

Twin Peaks Behind-the-scenes: An Unofficial Visitors Guide to Twin Peaks ( ISBN 978-1-556-98284-2), 1991. Written by Mark Altman. A shining figure, much taller than the others, suddenly appeared in their midst and it gave off a violet light so bright and powerful it washed away everything else in my field of vision, nearly blinding me.” But Jacoby’s write-up on Nadine also foreshadows to another scene in The Return. The last time we see Jacoby and Nadine, he visits her shop Run Silent, Run Drapes and they share a moment in which they clearly have a connection.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. Actually, that’s mostly it. There really aren’t any more answers about the deluge of cliffhangers for the end of the series. 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 picture of the Bookhouse books puts then name of the appropriate member under each of the 11 volumes, instead of a numbering going from "I" to "II" above them. Viral marketing, unreliable history, critique of American history as sin and corruption, The Secret History of Twin Peaks is the great American novel as much as its followup, The Final Dossier, is Our Town (in Hell). In the Secret History, Pete's father is named Ersel, whose father is named Zebulon. But in the Access Guide, Pete's father is named Nealith, whose father is named Rudolph. And although I loved so many aspects of the book when I first read it, I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed with how little we learned about what our favorite Twin Peaks characters had been up to over the past 25 years. In The Secret History of Twin Peaks, Jacoby states that Laura began seeing him six months before her death, when The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer states that she began seeing him over a year prior.In his previous novels The List of 7 and The 6 Messiahs, Frost proved adept at combining historical fact, conspiratorial speculation, and occult lore. He goes one further here, painting a completely paranoid and secretive world where the very definition of reality is always up for grabs. I stopped and laughed at this line when rereading this section post- Return. Of course, Jacoby via Dr. Amp tells his audience to “shovel your way out of the shit.” A small clue like this makes rereading the Secret History so fun. A vague and slippery answer, to be sure, and one that could easily be interpreted as “Hey it’s been 25 years I can’t remember everything please leave me alone!” But it’s also cryptic enough to suggest that what look like errors are anything but. In Hawk's journal "The Ballad of Big Ed and Norma and Nadine," there is a photo of Ed and Norma captioned "Big Ed and Norma at the RR." However, the photo is actually the two at the Roadhouse; a production still from the Pilot episode. On another picture of an Owl, Red shows the Freemasonry's all-seeing eye (the Great Sign) within the representation of the fifth triangular number figure (instead of a common triangle). Blue shows only an owl, the representation of the Illuminati.
