I just finished A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE by @scottmeslow.bsky.social and I can't recommend it enough for Twin Peaks/David Lynch fans. I learned so much about the BTS practical and creative choices that led to the miracle of this series, in all iterations.

The first half of my year was essentially defined by these two things — one an actual dream for me, one an actual nightmare — and I’ll always be grateful to Josh for giving me the space to reflect candidly on both

A very kind review of A Place Both Wonderful and Strange — and an insightful take on Twin Peaks in general — by Elizabeth Nelson in The Wall Street Journal. Read at @wsj.com:
‘A Place Both Wonderful and Strange’ Review: A Town Called Twin Peaks
David Lynch and Mark Frost’s surreal mystery series aired for only two seasons in its initial run. It proved a forerunner of a television revolution.

36 years ago tonight, Twin Peaks premiered. I'm currently reading @scottmeslow.bsky.social 's new book about the history of the show. It's so enjoyable AND I'm hearing stories/details I've never heard before, which is quite a feat (at this point) for a show so beloved and documented. Recommended!
There’s a lot going on right now but don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s April in the D

10. True to its name, @scottmeslow.bsky.social's book delivers the goods. By splitting the difference between oral history, critical analysis, and literature review, he has constructed an authoritative companion for hardcore and casual fans alike.
I finished @scottmeslow.bsky.social’s new book A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE: THE EXTRAORDINARY UNTOLD HISTORY OF TWIN PEAKS, which just came out this week. Good stuff. Lots of new behind-the-scenes tidbits throughout (including what was planned for ABC season 3)…. (1/2) #TwinPeaks
A Goodreads reviewer says, "Mark Turetsky’s narration is perfectly eerie and grounded, like if Agent Cooper and an NPR host had a love child raised in the Black Lodge," which is frankly one of my favorite things I've ever heard about my work.
