Fiction. Announcing the long-awaited reprint of Steve McCaffery's rare 1984 intervention into fiction (if "fiction" indeed this be). Taking its inspiration from Jeremy Bentham's "Panopticon Papers" McCaffery's PANOPTICON shatters all omnivison in a tour de force of formal innovation, theoretical comment and narrative critique. In PANOPTICON narrative stutters, repeats itself, sequence is deranged and complicated by a multi-media presence on the page of grids, film bands and acoustic channels. On its first appearance Charles Bernstein hailed the book as "as perhaps the exemplary 'antiabsorptive work'" and William McPheron claimed its first appearance as "an extraordinary act of revolution and charity." Out of print for over twenty years, this new edition is enhanced by the availability of a revised audio recording of the book, its three voices, one male, two female teasing out the gender complexities of PANOPTICON. McCaffery has also added an Introduction to the book and has revised the text entirely.

A humorous tale about a hard-barking pup who realizes his job is to expose prowlers - but can't figure out how to identify them. He accosts the postman, the milkman, innocent visitors, family members sneaking home late at night and generally makes, an unholy nuisance of himself. When a real prowler does come, Puccini decides, he's much too nice to mean any harm. The family decides he's no watchdog, but Puccini at least makes a noise like one, "which is enough to fool all honest people."

Ferryboat Ride is a child's eye view, crystallized in a sequence of colourful miniature poems. The exhilirating movement of the boat through this unparalled wrold of islands and lighthouses, seagulls and whales, tugboats and barges, ferries and docks, sets the child's imagination in motion.
