Two and a half centuries after Stern published Tristram Shandy , it has lost none of its verve — one of the most inimitable, inventive, witty and delightfully conversational novels ever written. The Wangs Vs. The World by Jade Chang Charles Wang was a wealthy Chinese-American make-up tycoon until the financial crisis blew up in his face.
