Opis

2017 saw the return of the weird and haunting TV show Twin Peaks, with most of the orginal cast. This book finally answers that puzzling question: What is Twin Peaks really about? The show is about madness, sanity, the borderline between them, and the necessity of some madness to make sense of sanity. It is about the imagination run wild, moving from metaphysics to pataphysics - the discipline invented by Alfred Jarry, which probes the assumption that anything can happen and discovers the laws governing events which constitute exceptions to all laws.
