Rameau's Nephew and First Satire

Rameau's nephew is a good one from Denis Diderot which gives you a sense of French Literature on the rise. Probably the "coolest" (if I can use that word in the nerdiest sense.) Is that Diderot references Tristram Shandy is a recursive way that should delight people 1) Who appreciate "post modern" literature and 2) people who have read both books.
