The Life and Opinions of
Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
Edited by Melvyn New and Joan New
with an Introductory Essay by
Christopher Ricks and an Introduction
and Notes by Melvyn New
This comic novel about writing a novel
is bawdy, profane, irreverent, brazenly
illogical, and exceedingly shrewd in
its understanding of human behavior
and of the infinite possibilities and
insurmountable limitations of the art of
fiction.

and anecdotes, all recorded in Sterne’s
delightful, meandering style.
