Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)
... method. Often, today's works deemed experimental, daring or new are actually harkening back to the symbolic systems and manners of old trappings; Kafka and Pynchon, for example, had an avid interest in Kabbalah, which are texts with nebulous, unfixed characters and settings that morph radically; ...

Re: Why exactly did ABC treat the show so badly?
... applied to the Bible, the Kabbalah, and all experimental literature throughout time, but it's part of why I find Ovid strange and compelling and Kafka my favorite writer. And I think that's the mode Lynch (more and more over his career) and Frost (especially given his soundbites about greek myth ...

... rest--but I still vastly prefer TR's singularity. I'm not much of a TV watcher, though--I'm more into novels, and I'd bristle at someone saying Kafka's writing, for instance, "really needed some extra eyes on it."

Kafka was writing a piece as he was dying of pneumonia about a character being unable to swallow and slowly dying of starvation and thirst. Plenty of ...

Re: Twin Peaks Actually Explained (Youtube)

Re: Just a thought...about the entire extent of our enjoyment

Re: Works That Influenced Twin Peaks: The Return
I don't know why you're quoting me......... I know metamorphosis is a short story by Kafka, i actually read it in german. I also read The castle and The trial. But Kafka is also a movie from 1991 starring Jeremy Irons that mixes up Kafka's real lifestory with some ...

Re: Works That Influenced Twin Peaks: The Return
... so I think even if Beckett is not a direct influence then Lynch and Beckett share 'common ancestors'. Whether it be Unamuno, Ortega y Gasset, Kafka, Camus, or any other of the vast number of (loosely termed) modernists whose thoughts turned towards Existenzphilosophie in the early and mid ...
