No, not exactly. But when reading Tristram Shandy, I kept being puzzled as
to whether Tristram's uncle was going to turn out to be his (real) father.
Later, I learned that Sterne did actually model the uncle on his own father.
The filial feeling is so palpable. Whether Tristram is Sterne himself is I
suppose undecidable - what would it mean? Best wishes, Penny McCarthy.

Dear all,
Does anyone know of a non-Russian novel in which one of the characters is a
relative of the author (who may also appear in that novel as a character)?
Many thanks,
Alexey
