Guide Review
"Postmodern Pooh" is a critical update to the satire, "Pooh Perplex," which Frederick Crews created in 1964. In the "Preface" of his new "Postmodern Pooh," he writes, "Another sprightly methodological survey, focusing on the same classic fiction as before, might be just what the doctor ordered to get us all up to speed with the ever-accelerating march of knowledge in our discipline."
