A twenty pound duck that won't fly,thirty miles of barbed-wire fencing,and several batches of illicit whiskey.Fup is a classic tale that celebrates all the amazing connections and pitfalls of rustic living.
Set in the coastal hills of northern California,spanning over a hundred years, and revolving around three larger-than- life characters:two humans and one duck. Grandaddy Jake Santee,99 years old,a cranky reprobate and fierce opponent of the work ethic; Tiny,a giant young man as gentle as Jake is belligerent - and then there is Fup,an uncompromising twenty- pound hen mallard,whose unique presence enforces a sense of order on the Santee household.The resulting story is 'hilarious,heartwarming and magical'.
Jim Dodge's other novels include Not Fade Away and Stone Junction.
