Special #2: The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper

Back to the Double R: A Twin Peaks Rewatch

Woohoo!! We are way stoked to have you reading a website about a podcast about a book supposedly transcribed from audio recordings about a TV character! Check all of us out! Nice work, everyone. In this, our Back to the Double R Special #2, we dive into the dogeared pages of Scott Frost’s “The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes.” Published in 1991, this lesser sibling to “The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer” is a curio of not-undubious distinction—but fans gonna fan, and we kinda liked it! Jonathan kicks us off with a discussion of how this compares to “The Secret Diary…”; Jennifer turns a spotlight on Dale Cooper’s early traumas; Colin wonders whether young Dale is a child of the 1950s, 60s, or 70s; and Damon asks whether Warren’s boy’s book is a useful bridge to Lynch’s Twin Peaks prequel, “Fire Walk With Me.” For the Twist, we ask our standard question of all the literary elements of the Peaksian landscape that we will discuss: Is it canon?
