I spent all my money to buy this book "Twin Peaks: Mysterious History" a few months ago. I have to admit, it's all because of my obsession with David Lynch and the Shuangfeng series of TV dramas. However, why don't you read it? On the one hand, it has something to do with time, but I think the main reason is that I was stunned by the first few pages of this book. Let's see what it says-
"Dear Agent * * *: This letter is attached as confidential information. Please do not disclose it to any third party. "
"Special Agent TP has completed all background checks and submitted SF-86 and FD-285 forms."
"TP: The whole document is easily divided into several parts ... I will write my opinions on the edge of the paper ... I will try my best to trace the source of each document and confirm its authenticity. ……"
Boy! Documents and secrets. Watching david lynch's movies is enough to self-harm brain cells. Do you still have to chew such a "top secret document"? !
Don't be afraid to see this, after all, I am still reading, and I am reading at one breath! Absolutely not obscure gobbledygook! On the contrary, its charm and allure even make you read one of the "documents" (a chapter).
What kind of wonderful book is this, what is hidden in Pandora's box, and listen to this "agent" in detail-
First, this is a unique "three-dimensional novel"
In the author's words, this book is based on a series of confidential documents collected by the mysterious archivist, starting with a series of letters between American President Jefferson, Colonel Lewis and his vice captain Clark more than 200 years ago. These letters not only appear in the book as handwritten notes of different people, but also are interspersed with information research and critical words of TP agents-
When reading these letters and historical materials, I am puzzled by one thing: how can these officers, including the president, write such stories so well! Not only strong, but also throwing luggage, popping up a "mysterious ring" for a while, popping up a "mysterious murder" for a while (that is, there is no investigation result), and the notes next to it will also come to a historical textual research from time to time to tell you which historical events are credible and which doubts need to be decrypted. (Note: Every historical figure is well documented outside the book)
With this urgent desire to unseal, I finished reading these documents in one breath. It was not until some photos of familiar actors appeared in the documents that I suddenly realized: My God, when did the author mix the Tale of Twin Peaks with those historical documents? When did you mix truth with fiction?
Of course, after I discovered this, the fictional elements in his narrative were not malicious, because the literariness and entertainment of the story had already made up for everything.
Yes, this is actually a novel of history, suspense and mysterious reasoning. But the author turned the chapters of the novel into documents, the beginning into historical letters, and the subjective narrative into agent notes.
If you doubt that it will be a bit messy to do this or typeset this way, I have to tell you, absolutely not. This "three-dimensional" reading experience will make you have an unspeakable interest.
The second is an introductory tutorial on mysticism.
I don't think people who like david lynch will exclude Kafka or Borges, because these people are explorers obsessed with mysticism. Of course, this kind of explorer is different from those extreme pagans. The former thinks that there is some mysterious power behind the evil, absurdity and wisdom of human beings, and the discovery of this power is the behavior process of human beings approaching the truth. This tendency of consciousness can be seen everywhere in david lynch's works.
So what is "mysticism"? I think this question may be a little difficult for the public looking for answers in pure works of art. After all, such works of art only convey a feeling of "mysticism", and the creators do not have much obligation to explain and guide them.
Therefore, this book "Twin Peaks: Mysterious History" is a very valuable book, guiding you into the world of mysticism. Of course, this book does not directly promote mysticism to readers, but raises questions about those unsolved historical events. This kind of question is full of logic and humanity, which will make you unconsciously fall into meditation and reverie, such as the mysterious disappearance of the people involved in the death of Colonel Lewis mentioned in the book; For example, the existence and confrontation between "* * * Economic Association" and "Illuminati" in the West in the past century; For example, the mysterious death and disappearance of UFO witnesses in the United States after the war; For example, Dr. Lawrence jacoby, a psychiatrist, went deep into the aborigines to experience shaman rituals.
When you follow the author to explore these problems, you will really enter the "mysterious" bimodal world and feel the charm of "mysticism".
Third, when reading, you will suddenly feel that the book is communicating with you.
Amazingly, when reading this book, you can always feel that you have a wonderful interaction with the book. I think there are three reasons:
"One" is related to the "three-dimensional novel" mentioned above, or the author played a little trick: as soon as he came up, he reminded you that you are not a simple reader, but an agent; What you read is not simple words, but top secret documents; Plus you have a partner: agent TP (after watching the third season of Shuangfeng, you will know that TP is a beauty! ), she always provides you with information and comments in the form of notes;
"The second kind" is the familiarity you get from reading the book after watching the movie "Twin Peaks", including the characters in the Twin Peaks, the real historical figures related to the characters in the Twin Peaks, and even a scene and a thing in the Twin Peaks. And this familiarity will even make you have the illusion of meeting an old friend or a witness to some events at a certain moment. Yes, this illusion is likely to be cross-space communication;
The third is the literariness of this book. In my opinion, this book named Mysterious Archives has all the elements of the novel: perspective, story line, paragraph and language style. ...
Fourth, the American drama "Twin Peaks" only played 20%, and the remaining 80% were in this book.
Aside from film and television works, the book Twin Peaks: Mysterious History can be completely self-contained. However, I don't think many readers in China have bought this book without watching the movie or TV series "Twin Peaks" (at least they have heard of it)! This makes us have to mention the relationship between the two peaks: mysterious history and the two peaks. In this regard, I can give some reference to those who are still hesitant to start this book, or don't know whether to watch a movie or read a book first-
1. There is little overlap between books and movies in content. Most of the characters in Shuangfeng's films have also appeared in the book, but most of them play a complementary role, connecting the events of one or two hundred years before the Shuangfeng story, such as the relationship between the birth of Shuangfeng Town and Native Americans; By the way, there are people who don't explain the background or who don't appear in the film story of Twin Peaks, such as the feud between the three families of Twin Peaks, such as the true identity of Briggs (Bobby's father) ...
2. From the perspective of film and television, Shuangfeng: Mysterious History can be regarded as the script biography, story outline and story creation background of Shuangfeng. It is no exaggeration to say that even though Twin Peaks: Mysterious History is not a novel, it is no exaggeration to say that it is only the preparatory work done by the crew of Twin Peaks. Even the copywriting work behind the shooting of a successful TV series or movie in the west is far greater than these. It's like a person practicing musical instruments for decades and finally performing on stage for only a few hours. This is the American TV series "Twin Peaks". This is an open story, and anyone in the story, even an extremely minor role, has a strong relationship and environmental background behind it. This kind of support is even detailed to what books and music a character in Shuangfeng likes to read and listen to ... which is one of the reasons why Shuangfeng characters are so flesh and blood.
The Beauty of Language in the Product Twin Peaks: Mysterious History from Bookstore
In the second season of the American drama Twin Peaks, agent Cooper also mentioned the word "bookstore" when he asked Sheriff Truman to introduce himself to the person in charge of the bookstore. This bookstore is probably a similar reading club organized by Shuangfeng Middle School students (at that time, Sheriff Truman was the president of the bookstore). There are a large number of books and personal diaries about local residents in the library, including the diary of Deputy Sheriff Hawke, Twin Peaks Post, and The Eye of God: Sacred Psychology of Primitive Mind by Dr. Lawrence jacoby. Shuangfeng: The mysterious history shows us the words of these people.
In this way, we can not only master more information about Shuangfeng Town from their words, but also have a pure "literature" addiction-for example, Tommy Hill's language style of describing Sheriff Andy is the combination of "Kerouac" and "Salinger";
Andy motioned me to go outside the church, as if no one could eavesdrop on us under the thunder of the hit single "Little Hooligans" played by the live band.
Please look at the language used by Dr. Lawrence jacoby to describe his shaman medical experience. Is it vivid? Edgar Allan Poe showed the world:
With the deepening of "seeing"-forgive my incompetence in using words, this kind of "seeing" actually mobilized all my senses, not just my body senses-I realized that there were creatures in the energy field in front of me. They came to me, obviously they could "see" me, and they were very interested in my appearance. This makes me a little nervous, because I can't judge their intentions. They may be angels or demons, and more likely they are a mixture of the two qualities. ...
You can get too much enjoyment of pure reading by reading these words (of course, part of it is due to the excellent translation of translators), and this enjoyment can be seen everywhere in books, hidden in seemingly true and false letters, diaries and briefings.
Throughout the book "Twin Peaks: A Mysterious History", it can be summarized in a few short sentences: it is a beautiful novel and a reference book for the American drama "Twin Peaks". These two points alone, combined with its exquisite binding and typesetting, the price of 100 yuan is also worthwhile. Of course, if the clues in the book can induce you to dig deeper (such as paganism, aliens, shamanism, etc.) ), the value will be even greater.
Finally, we end our article with a screenshot of the opening statement page in the book. I wish you all a happy time in the mysterious world of Shuangfeng! ——
