Infos

Animal Farm for the 21st century -- an extraordinary, scathing and funny first novel about a teddy bear who finds himself on the wrong side of America's war on terror

---

After suffering decades of brutal neglect, Winkie, a mangy old teddy bear, realises that he can actually move. He jumps out the window, and takes to the forest. But just as he is discovering the joys and wonders of mobility, self-determination, even love, Winkie's luck ends. Discovered by the military, who instantly conclude that he is the evil mastermind behind dozens of terrorist attacks, Winkie is brought to trial. In this War against Terror the prosecution will stop at nothing to get a conviction. Scathingly funny, and not a little weird, Winkie brilliantly exposes the cruel absurdities of our age and explores what it means to be human in an increasingly barbaric world.

Autor

Clifford Chase is the author of The Hurry-Up Song, a memoir of his brother's death, and his fiction has appeared in various magazines and literary journals. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he wrote WINKIE, his first novel. The author's inspiration was his own teddy bear, which is now over 80 and a bit mangy.
