Fup
Fup: A Modern Fable | Jim Dodge
9 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
Fup is a tale of two humans, one duck and several vats of home-brewed whisky. There's Grandaddy Jake Santee, 99 years old, an unreformed gambler, cranky reprobate and fierce opponent of the work ethic. Thanks to his home-distilled hooch, Ol' Death Whisper, he reckons he's in with good shot at immortality. And then there's Tiny, adopted at the age of four by Grandaddy Jake, a giant young man as gentle as Jake is belligerent. And then there's Fup, an uncompromising twenty-pound mallard, partial to a drink herself, whose unique presence transforms the Santee household. Hilarious, heartwarming and magical, Fup is a contemporary fable that inspires an almost evangelical fervour in all who read it. It is a work of enormous originality with a giant heart.

I've been thinking about this book for awhile now having finished it about a week ago. It is definitely charming in a Southern American Gothic way so if you're really into that and need a fix this is fantastic. I was Southerned out by O'Connor so the after effect was somewhat of a slow burner. I'm very happy I read this, it has fantastic character and, I think, some really beautiful ideas. Recommend.

A timeless fable I recommend whole-heartedly. I'm currently enjoying a glass of wine, but remembering this story makes me crave a shot of whiskey and a few tissues. #FunFridayPhoto book with an animal on the cover. I've noticed a surprising amount of posts for this category are books with birds on the cover. 🤔🐥🐔🕊🐧
