Recenze:
Purporting to be an autobiography of the antihero Tristram Shandy, Lawrence Sterne´s novel is a comic masterpiece of digression, egoism and sensationalism, as its hilarious asides, explanations and host of memorable secondary characters – such as Uncle Toby, Dr Slop, Parson Yorick and Widow Wadman – take centre stage, at the expense of the actual life events the book sets out to depict.
A humorous compendium of European thought and literature – pastiching the likes of Locke and Bacon and referencing Pope, Swift, Cervantes and Rabelais – emerges amid the convoluted accounts of Tristram´s conception, misnaming and accidental circumcision by a sash window, in a shrewd narrative that examines the role and nature of language itself.
