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.
