I’m not sure yet if she read my recent piece on Grover, but Christine has posted a piece on her site (“The Pomo(nster) At The End Of This Book”= best title EVAR) where she’s dug up a piece which calls Grover “a poet of tragic knowledge.”
Something’s up, here. I never heard the writers on Sesame Street refer to Grover as a teacher of postmodern ideas, but maybe they were working under that assumption subconsciously.
Happily, Christine found that someone has posted The Monster At The End Of This Book online! And that’s good, because the book is really quite excellent, whimsical and fun. It stands in proud counterpoint to many of the things Sesame has recently licensed their characters to (sugary fruit juice?! adult underwear?! cmon.)
