| Publisher Description: Sterne's utterly original novel -- the meandering, maddening autobiography of one of literature's oldest comic characters. WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY TOM McCARTHY Doomed to become the sport of fortune by an interruption at the crucial moment of conception, Tristram Shandy's life lurches from one mishap to another: his nose crushed by the doctor's forceps during birth, christened with the wrong name, an unfortunate incident involving a slamming sash window. Discover the anti-autobiography of the hilarious and impossibly long-winded Tristram Shandy. |
