As a comic novel replete with bawdy humour and generous sentiments, it introduces us to a vivid group of memorable characters, variously eccentric, farcical and endearing. As an anti-novel, it is a deliberately tantalising and exuberantly egoistic work, ostentatiously digressive, involving the reader in the labyrinthine creation of a purported autobiography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis mercurial eighteenth-century text thus anticipates modernism and postmodernism.
