«L'Oiseau Canadèche» (Fup) is Jim Dodge's contemporary fable, published by Seuil in paperback (107 pages, in French).
In the coastal hills of northern California, Jake Santee, a 99-year-old gambler, and Tiny, a young giant adopted by Jake, live together. With them lives Fup, a twenty-pound mallard duck whose presence imposes a peculiar order. It is a contemporary fable full of humour, tenderness and magic about coexistence and nature.
The work was originally published in 1983 under the title 'Fup'; this French edition belongs to the Virgule collection from Seuil (number 35).
For readers of short fables with eccentric characters and natural settings; its 107 pages make it a quick read.
Jim Dodge is an American novelist and poet whose works combine themes of folklore and fantasy, set in a timeless present. He has published three novels—Fup, Not Fade Away, and Stone Junction—and a collection of poetry and prose, Rain on the River.
