Product Description

Review

'A brilliant and savagely witty skewering of the combatants on all sides of the academic culture wars' The Washington Post 'Fred 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 fields of psychology instead of the impenetrably murky caverns of literary criticism. But literary criticism is luckier than psychology: It has Fred Crews to light the way.' Carol Tavris

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Literature Department Ought To Have It, 3 April 2006
In the 1960 Frederick Crews wrote The Pooh Perplex, a collection of parodies of literary critics. This is a follow-up to that book. Literature Departments are fighting Theory Wars now (and the quest isn't for The Truth, but a better job). Almost every current literary theory is pilloried here, almost every trendy posturing is exposed. This will appeal to anyone with a sense of humour who has had to be a footsoldier in the Theory Wars.
