Jake's Thing Quotes Showing of 4. “Jake was close to tears. In that moment he saw the world in its true light, as a place where nothing had ever been any good and nothing of significance done: no art worth a second look, no philosophy of the slightest appositeness, no law but served the state, no history that gave an inkling of how it had been and what had happened. All these experiences, seriously taken by Amis in real life (where he tried hard to save his marriage), would find their funny way towards his novel, becoming scenes of a burlesque comedy in which Jake is forced to attach strange machines to his “thing”, to expose it as a part of a scientific experiment in front of medical students, or as a part of a curative process in front of his fellow sufferers in a workshop, to protect it against aggressive females convinced they detain the secret.
