Mark Frost, cocreator of both the original Twin Peaks and The
Return, is often lost in the shadow of cocreator David Lynch in the
eyes of critics and scholars. In fact, Frost played at least as crucial
a role in developing the narrative, mythology, and aesthetic of those
groundbreaking, critically revered series. Conversations with Mark
Frost deconstructs that legendary partnership, while at the same time
exploring Frost's values, influences, thematic preoccupations, and
approach to creating art--for the screen, the stage, and the printed
page--as well as his thoughts on a wide variety of political, artistic,
and social topics. Included, for example, are Frost's recollections of a
bizarre encounter with Warren Beatty and Donald Trump in the
mideighties, his days as a production assistant on Mister Roger's
Neighborhood, his experiences working alongside the likes of David
Milch in the legendarily competitive writers' room at Hill Street
Blues, conversations about alien life and time travel with iconic film
director Steven Spielberg, and much, much more.
