Limited edition (1 of 500), gilt-blocked cloth, head and tail bound
Tristram Shandy is one of English literature’s most curious, complex and comic novels, perfectly suited to the distinctive, anarchic style of the celebrated cartoonist and illustrator Martin Rowson. Here he travels with his faithful companion Pete through the tortuous paths of Sterne’s infinitely digressive world, interpreting the great novel in a new way.
Rowson’s visual interpretation offers a perfect counterpoint to Sterne’s eccentric masterpiece, providing a modern viewpoint of the novel and bringing in deconstruction, a film version of Tristram Shandy by Oliver Stone, a vomiting whale, a ship full of critics, Martin Amis, D.H. Lawrence and a lot of noses.
