He walks on all fours and talks in clicks and hisses. There is also the Trash King who is a bit of a philosopher: "The wrapper outlasts the burger, the bottle outlasts the wine,the can outlasts the Coke." | |||||

When a mild-mannered teddy bear finds himself on the wrong side of America's War on Terror, he becomes trapped inside the jaws of a society rabid with fear and paranoia. Is Winkie the evil mastermind behind dozens of terrorist attacks? Or is he an innocent scapegoat for zealots on both sides of the terror wars? An emotionally gripping and intellectually compelling exploration of the absurdities of our post-9/11 age. | |||||
