Have you heard of georges perec? The guy without an E!

''Experimenting with the lipogram - a text which one or more letters of the alphabet may not appear - Perec produced La Disparition (1969, A Void, translated by Gilbert Adair), a 200-page detective novel (in some sources 311-page novel), in which the central puzzle deals with the disappearance of the efrom the alphabet. (But the letter appears outside the main text.) Perec's translator, Gilbert Adair, managed to replicate the feat in English, although the pioneering work is Ernest Vincent Wright Gads, a novel with over 50000 words, written in English without the letter E.''

Now that's an amazing show of charm and skill. His book did accomplish, and not contain a solitary showing of what I said was missing...Christ writing this is hard to begin with :blink:
