Review of 'The life and opinions of Tristram Shandy, gentleman' on 'Goodreads'
3 estrellas
I read the first third of this book for class about six years ago. I liked it, but never found the time or the will to finish it.
The works and life of Laurence Sterne
Laurence Sterne's great masterpiece of bawdy humour and rich satire defies any attempt to categorize it. 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.
