The Fake?s Regress is the sequel to The Fake?s Progress.Shortly before 9/11, Sebastian Conyers washes up in a remote corner of Ireland. Neither bowed nor chastened, he happy-go-luckily hitches his wagon to an unheard-of technical college with delusional aspirations to make a name for itself in Saudi Arabia. Though, like every Irishman, Sebastian knows the quote ?To Hell or Connaught, ? he is about to learn that the two are not mutually exclusive. One minute he?s engaged to marry a colonel?s daughter, the next he finds himself trussed and gagged in a wooden crate destined for clandestine shipment to Riyadh. And all because his alcohol-stained lips grazed those of a young Saudi student. Will this be the final installment in the picaresque life story of Castletownmorris?s most libidinous, most narcissistic son?
