This graphic novel about Laurence Sterne's Tristam Shandy is not only an excellent adaptation of the book, but also a comic masterpiece on its own. The original work is one of the most curious and complex novels in English literature, both celebrated and vilified when it was published in 1759. A book about writing a novel, readers will visit the wonders of Tristram Shandy with a modern, arguably destructive, point of view.
