After a hiatus The Hobbyhorse is back! With Ethan on Rebecca West's THE RETURN OF THE SOLDIER and TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN, the former's complex portrayal of "shell shock" unlocking a new interpretation of Dougie Jones and identity in Lynch's world. thehobbyhorse.substack.com/p/magic-circles

I'm grateful to Adam for taking an interest in this pitch, and for providing the editing it needed. This is an essay I've wanted to write for years, so I hope it has some interest for fans of Lynch—or of modernism, for that matter.

Among other things, in this piece I've tried to demonstrate one way that Lynch's work teaches us to deny and resist prejudice. Fix your hearts or die!

A wonderful essay
