Summary
Laurence Sterne's beloved comic novel, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, is the "biography" of Tristram Shandy - a wonderfully humorous and eccentric narrator who guides the listener from his conception to his birth and on to his life as an adult. The twists and turns of Tristram's life expose him to such memorable characters as Uncle Toby, Corporal Trim, Parson Yorick, Dr. Slop, and the Widow Wadman - whose own stories enrich the central narrative of Tristram's life.
Published in nine separate volumes from 1759 to 1767, Tristram Shandy is recognized today as one of the first modern novels in English literature.

Sack the narrator and put him out of our misery!
I have previously found a few audible narrators mildly annoying but this one's style is so unbelievably irritating that I can't listen to the rest of the book, sad to say. He seems to ignore all the rules of punctuation, completely altering the meaning of sentences by putting in pauses where there should be none. It seems that he has to concentrate on putting on strange voices and can't read coherently at the same time. If it were not for his style I might be enjoying this strange and disjointed tale! How do you request a refund on a Audible book?

a counterpoint to burtons anatomy of melancholy
whereas burtons anatomy takes us with crystal clear prose wit and vision from the days of the second sackjng of jerusalem (via the newly released from greek orthox josephus flavious) to 1671 and with equal clarity teaches us a thing or two about psychology....social sciences.. religious philpsophy and even sociology..........shandy lampoons and spectacularly illustrates what can actually be achieved from running MSDOS on DOS.
