The new book that Scott Meslow wrote on Twin Peaks is so far—I'm a third in—the best I've read. Fun, interesting, puts a finger on paedophilia—because the series handled masterfully that like no other media did, as far as I know—and with a lot of explanation that isn't navel-gazing. I recommend this book!

![Cooper has come to Twin Peaks to solve Laura Palmer’s (Sheryl Lee) murder. At the time the pilot was written, it was an inherently doomed mission; not even Lynch and Frost knew who had done it. “We didn’t want to solve it, at that point,” says Frost. “That was a clear decision on our part, creatively. We didn’t want to limit ourselves. And we felt if we locked it in too early, that’s exactly what we’d end up doing. [If we waited], something that might occur to us that’s even more interesting.”](/proxy/post_attachment/998137/6f29fa864f.webp "Cooper has come to Twin Peaks to solve Laura Palmer’s (Sheryl Lee) murder.

![“Kyle was very resistant to doing a series,” says Johanna Ray. “We didn’t know that we had him until the very last minute. But usually, David ends up getting what he wants.” An early, extreme example of that came on Ray’s first day on the show, as they discussed who might play Andy Brennan, the weepy deputy with a heart of gold. “Harry [Goaz] was David’s limo driver,” says Ray. “I was in a meeting with David and Mark Frost, and David said, ‘Well, I know who I want for the deputy sheriff. This guy that drove me to the Roy Orbison concert the other night.’ Mark and I went, ‘Oh, here we go,’” but they gamely agreed to meet with Goaz, who had exactly zero credits to his name. “And he turned out to be brilliant.”](/proxy/post_attachment/998139/0b9d895154.webp "“Kyle was very resistant to doing a series,” says Johanna Ray. “We didn’t know that we had him until the very last minute.
