Tristram Shandy

I just got back from seeing Trsitram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story.

(At some point, it's a film within a film within a film.) As was pointed out in the film, the novel was postmodern before there was even any modern. (I'm curious to read it, but nine volumes seems like quite a chore. I should first go read (and watch) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, as discussed in an earlier thread.
