Postmodern Pooh (Rethinking Theory)
Frederick Crews
'Postmodern Pooh is the funniest and most incisive [satire on literary criticism] to date. Using a blend of acute imitation and with frequent reference to respected critical texts, Crews demonstrates that despite the purported differences between recent schools of critical thought, all of them have a tendency to use digression, sexual and scatalogical obsession, self-conscious erudition and irrelevant quotation to distract the reader from the emptiness of their argument... The only comparable publication, for both satirical acuity and hilarity, is the infamous hoax paper that the physicist Alan Sokal published.' --The TLS reviewing the US edition.
