The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman reviewed by @theodore_p
9 out of 10
Two hundred and sixty years old and still the most formally reckless novel in English. The black page, the marbled page, the squiggle! Whatever you do, get an edition that reproduces them properly; the Norton does, several cheap reprints print a grey rectangle and hope.
