Fup, l’oiseau canadèche, by Jim Dodge and Tom Haugomat

A rare novel to share with friends, for a moment of pure literary joy. Fup is a raw gem, a sweet and whacky tale about an unlikely trio – young Tiny, who loves nothing more than building beautiful fences in the Far West’s wide open spaces, his old Granddaddy Jake who distils whisky in the hope of becoming immortal, and Fup, their adopted duck who is full of life!

A tale that has been carefully polished by Tom Haugomat. Renowned for his minimalist and subtle style, he reinterprets Jim Dodge’s original story in pictures. And for the first time, he uses paint, creating a precise rhythm between splash pages, panels and vignettes. He explores themes that are close to his heart, such as family ties, the calm reign of nature, and the beauty of the small things in life…

A cult novel, full of humour and poetry, about life and the unpredictable paths it takes… you’ll wish it was longer!
