Published just weeks before his fatality in 1768, A Sentimental Quest is Sterne's gently fictionalised account of his own Western european vacations. And being Sterne, it is more about digressions, misunderstandings, and risqué jokes than the places he visits. Narrated by the (apparently) innocent Parson Yorick, who appeared in Sterne's other masterpiece, Tristram Shandy, it is full of anecdote and event, and is a lot more about individuals than the landscapes on the road from Calais. Regardless of the name, any sentimentality is offset by the beauty of the writing, the engaging companionship of Yorick himself, and the constant, frolicsome surprises.
