Review of "Against the Day"

by Roger on Thu 3rd Dec 2009.

The great Tristram Shandy updated and expanded to cover the lives and loves of the Traverse family scions of Webb the anarchist. Resolutions and explanations rendered obselete by the flowing of a great river which carries on as we scramble to the bank and shake the last drops off our bodies.
