Tristram Shandy (Everyman's Library CLASSICS)

About this book

Laurence Sternes great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it with a rich metafictional narrative that might classify it as the first postmodern novel. Part novel part digression its gloriously disordered narrative interweaves the birth and life of the unfortunate hero Tristram Shandy the eccentric philosophy of his father Walter the amours and military obsessions of Uncle Toby and a host of other characters including Dr Slop Corporal Trim and the parson Yorick.
