Re: Skewering stilted language and theory: F. Crews

[Barkley Rosser]

Crews is most famous for authoring the magnificent satire, _The Pooh Perplex_, several decades ago.  It presents a series of analyses of the Winne-the-Pooh books from a variety of academic literary perspectives, one of which is Freudian.  It is hilarious, much better than any pomo and well before pretty much all of it.

Crews I've noticed a couple folks herein have roots to Berkeley. Do any of you know this Crews fellow? Any personal thoughts on him? * * * Crews is an English prof at Berkeley, best known to me as as withering, merciless, and brilliant critic of psychoanalysis. Apparantly he is a recovering Freudian,a nd decided to make life hell for the remaining Freudians. I am not sure whether he has "radical" politics, but he sure is smart! jks Do you Yahoo!?
