Update on the Prisoner Essay Anthology

It Means What It Says:  Trying to Understand the Prisoner – Volume One, which includes my essay “The Prisoner’s Progress,” is now available. There are two versions: black & white and color (presumably a nod to the Village Maps available for No.6 to buy in “Arrival”).

Black & White version

Full Color version

The charity digital book It Means What It Says: Trying to Understand THE PRISONER – Volume One is now available for pre-order on Amazon in the UK. This includes my essay on interpreting The Prisoner series as an allegory and how the series overcomes the usual shortcomings of allegory.
