'Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Vol. 2' Summary
The novel is a self-consciously digressive and episodic work that parodies the conventions of the novel, including its linearity and focus on action. Sterne uses a variety of techniques to achieve this effect, including metafictional commentary, interpolated stories, and characters who interrupt the narrative. The novel also contains a number of bawdy and satirical passages, which were controversial at the time.Book Details
