The Life And Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman is the fictional autobiography of the eponymous Tristram. What makes The Life And Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman unique is that Tristram cannot help but get distracted by adding color and revealing context to his life to make it more interesting. This leads to his life story being constantly interrupted by many sermons, essays, and legal documents. Things become so convoluted that the reader does not even learn about Tristram’s birth until Volume III of an IX Volume story. If the reader is willing to dig into the swarm of writings and information, they will find an interesting story about fate, time, language, free will, and the art of novel writing itself.
