Tom Landsaw is out of prison and ready to continue a life interrupted.
The debut novel from a promising voice, Fakists is a smart, funny, and concise meditation on authenticity; a pastoral of bad calls, boozy egoism, false facts, and honest fakes..
Along the way, a surfing detective falls for a burned-out curator under fire from the board, priceless art goes missing, and an onslaught of characters inhabit locales from the rainy streets of Donegal to the shores of Waikiki, with stops in Boston, Vermont, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and an artist ranch in the California desert.
Fakists is the story of what happened: how a visiting professor at an upstate art school upended a burgeoning relationship, and how Landsaw\'s ensuing revenge proved disastrous.
