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.
