He is a character (and the narrator) in a novel by Laurence Sterne, which is named after him. The novel is of a satirical and comedic nature. One of the distinctive things about Shandy is that he cannot keep to the point when telling a story, but digresses and never gets back to his original point.

What important contribution did Tristram Shandy make to the novel?

"Tristram Shandy," written by Laurence Sterne, made significant contributions to the novel by pioneering narrative techniques such as digression, stream of consciousness, and non-linear storytelling. Its playful approach to time and character development challenges traditional narrative structures, allowing for a more introspective and fragmented exploration of human experience. The novel's metafictional elements also invite readers to reflect on the act of reading and storytelling itself, influencing later writers and modernist literature. Overall, Sterne's work expanded the possibilities of narrative form and expression in the novel.
