Fup (1983)

Contrived and overly mannered little fable. I must be missing something, as the Amazon & Goodreads reviews are uniformly raves, and it came highly recommended. But I thought the level of cleverness never rose above naming the main character Fup Duck. ( )

Very interesting book written In a style of onlty the author knows , i dont really know why i liked this slim short read but like it i do!!!! ( )

Tale of great sensibility of a little giant of a boy, a crazy drunk old man and a duck.
Lovely. ( )

Some love stories lack romance. Some comic novels contain no jokes. Some simple stories are unsuitable for children. Fup is all of these. An old reprobate gambler turned distiller takes custody of his orphaned grandson. Years later they adopt a huge duck. The plot, however, is not the point. And defining the point involves reprising the book. So, rather than misrepresent this strange charm, I exhort you to read the book. It is so compact that you will invest little time in it. And then we can discuss the return on your investment. ( )
