![]() ![]() And like Tagomi going back to work after slipping into our terrible timeline, Frank leaves the police station and decides that the one thing he should do is… get back to work on the jewelry. Like Tagomi, Frank seems to come to a realization about how hard it is to really understand what's going on around him. Instead he's going to go back to the workshop and make more jewelry. ![]() Notice how quickly the narrative moves from "I have to " to "Just be glad." Frank isn't going to beat his head against a wall here. ![]() At the end of the book, after being arrested and freed, Frank seems to accept that there are some things that he will never know and that he should just go along with the flow: This easy-going manner is emphasized by the way Frank ends up. Instead of killing a bunch of people, he's learned how to survive, even come to appreciate the Japanese way of doing things-and not by becoming a secret racist, like Childan (1.50). But instead, over the past 15 years, he's made peace with the idea of the Pacific States. For instance, after the war, Frank had planned to join a violent resistance against the Japanese (1.48). We get the feeling that if Frank could avoid making any decisions or doing anything, he would. Frank does it, but it's Ed's idea (4.70).Įven when Frank does make a decision or take an action, he first asks the I Ching how he should proceed or what he should do. And the same thing could be said about Frank frightening Childan about the antiques being fakes. He only goes into business with Ed because Ed asks him to (and, oh yeah, because Frank got fired by W-M). But Frank isn't the one with the idea to start a jewelry business or the one with the designs for new jewelry. So Frank can make good stuff, whether it's fake guns or authentic jewelry. Even the lab that examines the fake gun for Childan says it's a great forgery, done by "a real pro" (4.133). When he's making fake Civil War pistols for "Wyndam-Matson," he does it all: "he had made the molds himself, done the casting, and had been busy hand-smoothing the pieces" (4.32). Although Frank is very important for the arts and crafts plot (see our " Brief Summary") and he gets the most POV sections (tied with Tagomi), he doesn't seem to be doing very much here-and what he does seems motivated by other people.įor instance, Frank is important to this book because he creates authentic American jewelry with "Ed McCarthy." And Frank is very good as a craftsman. ![]() He changes his name from the Jewish-sounding "Frank Fink" to the silly-sounding "Frank Frink," so he can hide from Nazis. She misses him.When we try to list all of Frank Frink's important actions and decisions in this book, we get… actually, we don't have a list at all, just one entry that happens before the book starts.
