He is best known for the George Miles Cycle, a series of five semi-autobiographical novels published between 1989 and 2000 and described by Tony O'Neill "as intense a dissection of human relationships and obsession that modern literature has ever attempted."[1] Cooper is the founder and editor of Little Caesar Magazine, a punk zine, that ran between 1976 and 1982.
