Jake's Thing

Amis keeps the British end up - By: Mr. H. Morrison, 14 Aug 2008
Amis' later novels can be hit & miss, but 'Jake's Thing' is one of his best - a hilarious account of a man in late middle age struggling with impotence. All the sacred cows of the nineteen-seventies are mercilessly lampooned, in particular, women & psychoanalysis.

Jake's account of a TV producer commissioning a 'Tales of the Unexpected' style programme is probably one of the funniest things I've ever read. Like most Amis novels, the politicallly correct will find it repellent; those of us with a sardonic sense of humour will enjoy it.
