About this title

Review:

"I was a "wilderness educator" back in Texas in the mid-eighties . . . At night I used to read these tough, streetwise kids to sleep - Catcher in the Rye, The Grapes of Wrath, and a fable called Fup by Jim Dodge. They loved Fup in particular, a fable about a duck . . . I still hear from these kids - they're all over the country now and generally they're out of trouble, except for the fact that they might be reading Fup to their kids" (Colum McCann Paris Review)

"A fairytale ending worthy of Oscar Wilde" (Sunday Telegraph)

"You'll love it" (Independent on Sunday)

"Short, sharp and wickedly funny" (Elle)

"Delightful and constantly surprising. Jim Dodge has produced something rare: a fairy tale that is wonderfully down to earth." (Daily Telegraph)

"This novel is fupped uck." (The Times)

"Stupendous. It is a jewel, a gem, a diamond in the cesspool of life." (San Francisco Chronicle)

"

A short, masterful and unusual fable.

" (The Times 2009-04-04)

"A timeless fable that is vibrant, vital, poetic and full of humanity, this is a short but perfectly formed work that you can come back to again and again." (Waterstone's Books Quarterly 2009-04-01)

"If you fell in love with Babe then you'll love Fup. Simple, touching and refreshingly short" (The Face)

Book Description:
