- Summary
- "Purporting to be the proceedings of a forum on Winnie-the-Pooh convened at the Modern Language Association's annual convention, this sequel of sorts to Frederick Crews's classic send-up of literary criticism, the Pooh Perplex, brilliantly parodies the academic fads and figures that held 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 bear, and Crews takes his well-considered, wildly funny jabs at them. His aim, as ever, is true."--Publisher.
