Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks

Reflections, An Oral History of Twin Peaks examines David Lynch and Mark Frost's legendary television series that aired on the ABC network from 1990-91. As the mystery of "Who Killed Laura Palmer?" played out on television sets across the world, another compelling drama was unfolding in the everyday lives of the show's cast and crew. Twenty-five years later, Reflections goes behind the curtain of Twin Peaks and documents the series' unlikely beginnings, widespread success, and peculiar collapse.

Paths of Alir: A Pattern of Shadow & Light Book 3

The overarching plot of the series is this huge, fascinating arc that's not good-vs-evil as much as it is a question of WHO is good or evil, and why. This book expanded nicely on that question. I've never read so much adventure as philosophy or philosophy as adventure. It's the darkest yet in the series, but when you read it you'll see why. It all makes sense in relation to the big questions that McPhail is chewing on.

The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume II

When he died in 2004, Jacques Derrida left behind a vast legacy of unpublished material, much of it in the form of written lectures. With "The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume I", the University of Chicago Press inaugurated an ambitious series, edited by Geoffrey Bennington and Peggy Kamuf, translating these important works into English. This volume, now in paperback, launched the series with Derrida's exploration of the persistent association of animality with sovereignty.
