We sadly report the death of Rob Wyke, dedicated Chairman of the Laurence Sterne Trust since 2010, on 23 Jan, aged 71. Former 2nd master of Winchester College, and a longtime supporter of Shandy Hall, he constantly worked to safeguard its future. Much missed.

One of my grad school professors here at SUNY New Paltz was Arthur Cash, biographer of Laurence Sterne. Classes met in his kitchen. Wine was served. We read Tristram Shandy, and he laughed at each joke and funny scene like a happy, new discovery. What made grad school worthwhile? Moments like this.

How wonderful to have known Arthur Cash. We refer to his Sterne volumes regularly - and it's the most enjoyable biography .

I was at school in Yorkshire, not far from where Sterne lived, and read both Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey during weekly choir practice. Here is a picture I made of Shandy Hall back in the late 1960s before it was restored.

Episode 333 – @jackewilson.bsky.social takes a look at the wild and woolly Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne. Who was Sterne? What rules did he break? And what power does it have for a reader today? #experimentalliterature #books #literature

Contrary to current belief, the sparkline was invented by Laurence Sterne for his novel "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" (1759-67)
I'm a big fan of the ts-dash, pioneered by Laurence Sterne:

The Kiss And Other Movements - YouTube
#NowPlaying Michael Nyman - "The Kiss And Other Movements"
A bit of a grab-bag, but there's some wonderful music on this album. "The Nose-List Song", from Sterne's "Tristram Shandy", is a particular favourite Very funny. "Water Dances" are great, too. Very energetic.
