A sequel of sorts to the classic (and bestselling) sendup of literary criticism, The Pooh Perplex
Purporting to be the proceedings of a forum on Pooh convened at the Modern Language Association's annual convention, Postmodern Pooh brilliantly parodies the academic fads and figures that hold sway at the millennium.
Deconstruction, poststructuralist Marxism, new historicism, radical feminism, cultural studies, recovered-memory theory, and postcolonialism, among other methods, take their shots at the poor teddy bear and Crews takes his shots at them. The fun lies in seeing just how much adulteration Pooh can stand.

From the Inside Flap:
"Hilarious and accurate. Crews has made the punishment fit the crime." --Joan Acocella
About the Author:
"Frederick Crews is a Person of Very Great Brain. What he pooh-Poohs deserves it. Reading this book actually makes me grateful that I toil in the jargon-choked field of psychology instead of the impenetrably murky caverns of literary criticism. But literary criticism is luckier than psychology: it has Frederick Crews to light the way." --Carol Tavris, author of The Mismeasure of Woman
"Postmodern Pooh is an astonishing book: hilarious, deliciously cruel, and intellectually stimulating." --Denis Dutton, Editor, Arts & Letters Daily
Frederick Crews is professor emeritus of English at University of California, Berkeley. In addition to The Pooh Perplex, he is the author of The Memory Wars and other books about psychology.
