Tristram Shandy sets out to tell you his life story. He does not manage to get himself born until the third volume. Digression is the whole point. Between his irritable father Walter, his gentle Uncle Toby with his model fortifications, and a string of absurd accidents that doomed Tristram from the start, the tale loops, stalls, and doubles back. Blank pages, cheeky innuendo, and unfinished sentences make this the most playful novel of the eighteenth century, and one that still feels startlingly modern. Beautifully typeset Tydbyts Classics edition.
