Frederick Crews has lived through this paradigm shift, having spent (remarkably) his entire career at Berkeley. He has certainly never restrained himself, having taken on, as a critic, psychoanalysis and the recovered memory movement, but now more than ever, as an emeritus, he has the luxury of being able to say whatever he wants. Postmodern Pooh, an entirely new collection of lit-crit parodies, pitched as a panel discussion at the MLA, is energized and enriched by the combination of Crews's freedom and his four decades of experience as an English professor. The result is a brilliant and savagely witty skewering of the combatants on all sides of the academic culture wars.
