«L'oiseau Canadèche» is the novel by Jim Dodge published by 10/18 in paperback (114 pages, in French).
Titou lives with his grandfather Jake, a loner who believes he received from an Indian friend the recipe for a whisky that grants immortality. The arrival of Canadèche, a gluttonous duck, brightens the routine; a wild boar that Jake believes is the reincarnation of his friend sows conflict. A fable about friendship, family and freedom, with irreverent humour and magical realism.
The work was originally published as «Fup»; this French edition includes a translation by Jean-Pierre Carasso and an epilogue by Nicolas Richard.
For readers with a command of French looking for a short work of American narrative with humour and eccentric characters.
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.
