A joyful celebration of the endless possibilities of fiction, if you've ever sat spellbound listening to a witty, satirical, outrageous, digressive raconteur regaling you with endless stories about preposterous characters that lead nowhere but keep you hanging on every word, they learned their craft from Sterne. It became a huge commercial success in the 1760s. Sterne became a celebrity, and made a fortune, fulfilling a deep ambition, and establishing his fame and reputation throughout the world.
