Beginning with Tristrams conception, the novel recounts his progressin this scurvy and disasterous world of ours, including his misnaming during baptism and his accidental circumcision by a falling sash-window at the age of five; unsurprisingly, Tristram declares that he has beenthe continual sport of what the world calls Fortune. Tristram Shandy also offers the narrators opinions, at once facetious and highly serious, on books and learning in an age of rapidly expanding print culture, and on the changing understanding of the roles of writers and readers alike.
