#Laura diarey series

She notes that, on 10 January 1987, she has a disturbing vision or 'dream' in which her father Leland angrily questions her about her recent visits to the local brothel, One-Eyed Jack's. She is first introduced to cocaine in October 1986, and soon becomes an addict. In a 10 December 1986 entry, she desperately tries to dispel the notion nagging at her that her sinful 'thoughts' are BOB's machinations and tries to claim her desires as her own to take responsibility for them.

In two entries a few months later, on 10 and 11 September 1986, she again considers the possibility that BOB is not real, and in the latter states that BOB denies her 'adult joys' that her distressing desires demand. She indicates several times that her ordeal began 'when I stopped skipping the rope', an allusion to the end of childhood and the beginning of adolescence. Laura's two new entries in April and June 1986 leave it unclear whether these newly found memories of what BOB has done to her or their implantation at his hands relate to a time after her 1984 entry, or even what she originally thought to be her first dream of BOB in 1983. false memories is later revisited in The Secret History of Twin Peaks.) She also writes of having obsessive thoughts and urges about sex and drug use, and expresses fear that God will damn her to Hell. Eventually, however, she starts to believe her new memories: 'I think it's real. Two years later, in entries dated 24 April and 22 June 1986, she ambiguously writes that she now 'suddenly remembers many things' in detail that she does not want to remember, and cannot tell whether they are real, imagined, or implanted. In her third diary entry dated 23 July 1984, Laura originally states that she had her first nightmare foreshadowing BOB and his crimes in 1983, at the age of 10 or 11. It recounts standard teenage concerns of her first period, her first kiss, and her relationship with her parents, alongside experiences of sexual abuse, promiscuity, cocaine addiction, and her obsession with death. The book begins on Laura's 12th birthday in 1984, and steadily matures in writing style and vocabulary. Lynch says she was told by her father and Mark Frost, co-creator of the series, to 'be Laura Palmer,' and that she 'knew Laura so well it was like automatic writing.' Contents The novel is said to be 'As seen by Jennifer Lynch,' and is written in a matter-of-fact tone from the point of view of Laura Palmer, a small-town teenager -a 'good girl gone bad' - who is abused and terrorized by the demonic entity BOB.
