After suffering decades of neglect from the children who once loved him, Winkie hurls himself off the shelf, jumps out the window, and takes to the forest. But just as he is discovering the joys and wonders of mobility, self-determination, even true love, this small brown creature of indeterminate gender gets trapped in the jaws of a society gone rabid with fear and paranoia. Having come upon the cabin of the mad professor who stole his beloved, Winkie is suddenly surrounded by the FBI, who instantly conclude that he is the evil mastermind behind dozens of terrorist attacks that have been traced to the forest. Terrified and confused, Winkie is brought to trial, where the prosecution attempts to seal the little bear's fate by calling upon witnesses from the trials of Galileo, Socrates, John Scopes, and Oscar Wilde. Emotionally gripping, intellectually compelling, Winkie introduces the most memorable protagonist since the Velveteen Rabbit, and -- with the help of a lesbian Moslem cleaning woman, a stuttering attorney, and a Lacan-spewing bear cub -- brilliantly exposes the cruel absurdities of our age and explores what it means to be human in an increasingly barbaric world.
