{"title":"Jim Dodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eJim Dodge (Califórnia\/Estados Unidos, 1945) é um romancista e poeta que viveu intensamente os movimentos de contracultura nos Estados Unidos. Suas histórias reúnem sabedoria popular e fantasia, resultando em relatos surpreendentes de imaginação e realidade. Dodge é formado em Artes e Escrita Criativa pela Universidade de Iowa, mas já fez de tudo um pouco: foi professor, pastor de ovelhas, jogador profissional de pôquer, lenhador, instalador de carpetes e consultor ambiental. Elogiado por autores como Thomas Pynchon e Gary Snyder, escreveu três romances e um livro de poemas, sendo um celebrado autor cult, apesar de negar o título. Atualmente, vive isolado em seu rancho na Califórnia e dedica-se a questões ambientais.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fup","title":"Fup","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e , by \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebeat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ewriter\u003c\/strong\u003e Jim Dodge, is an \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eliterary gem\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ethat celebrates life in a fun and unusual narrative.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eFup\u003c\/em\u003e is a story about a very eccentric grandfather and alcohol addict, his grandson obsessed with building fences, and a duck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe truth is, Grandpa Jake was living his life perfectly, drinking his Old Death Whisper—the homemade whiskey he made and which he swore would grant him immortality—until he received the news that his daughter had died and left behind a baby named Tiny. At first, Grandpa Jake was more interested in the modest fortune the child brought with her, but upon seeing the little one, a light was kindled within him. The two then lived peacefully, despite their differences—which were enormous, and we're not even talking about Tiny's 6'4\" height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eGrandpa Jake was fond of gambling and partying, while Tiny was easygoing. Only one thing ever got under his skin: the wild boar Lockjaw, known for destroying fences. One day, while cleaning up the debris the beast had left, Tiny found a duckling in the mud, nearly buried, which Grandpa didn't hesitate to name Fup: \"Fucking duck... fucking duck... Fup.\" He was also the one who realized that Fup was actually a duck. And thus, a loving and unconventional relationship is forged in the daily lives of the three characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This magical, moving, and funny fable by Jim Dodge deals with grief, friendship, learning, and patience, but it goes beyond all that.
