Overview

Operation Cyclops is a philosophical comedy about prison, politics and power. Carlos Castaneda meets Viktor Pelyevin meets Andreas Baader. The novel is narrated by an unnamed prisoner in an unnamed British prison. Rattling, straight-jacketed and down the Block, his only companions are a Libertarian spider called Boris, and Phil the drugs- dealing pigeon. When the voices start, he thinks he is going mad. But then his cell is invaded by a series of hallucinatory visitors, including an invisible Bolshevik, a Mexican witch and the legendary revolutionary Emma Goldman. Each visitor brings news of a terrible conspiracy to enslave the world. Time is running out. Meanwhile, the prison is shipping in some of the hardest men in the system. All under one roof. Something is about to start kicking off. Operation Cyclops is a book about the insanity of prison and the prison of insanity. It's a comedy of boredom. And it's a compelling manifesto in the War of the Poor against the Aneristic mind of the capitalist machine. Of course, it may all be a paranoid hallucination. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't going to get you...Pete Inseal was born in 1965 in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
