Start with Granddaddy Jake Santee, a cantankerous,
ninety-nine-year-old coot with a taste for gambling and whiskey;
add in Tiny, his gentle giant of an adopted grandson, whose passion
for building well-crafted fences on land with no livestock borders
on obsessive; then add Fup, a twenty-pound mallard with an iron
will and a fondness for hooch and romantic movies. What do you get?
You get Fup-a wildly eccentric modern classic that invites you to
sit a spell and wet your whistle while it regales you with tales of
teaching Fup to fly, the Sunday morning pig hunt, and the Great
Checker Showdown of '78. First published in 1983, this hilarious,
heartwarming, magical tale has sold over 100,000 copies since its
debut. Fup is a contemporary fable that inspires an evangelical
fervor in all who read it. As Granddaddy Jake says: It just ain't
possible to explain some things, maybe even most things. It's
interesting to wonder on them and do some speculation, but the main
thing is you have to accept it-take it for what it is, and get on
with your getting." So, get on with your getting and read Fup-it's
all it's quacked up to be!
