NYC The Town so Nice, They Named it Twice!
Yesterday, in my writer's workshop we read an exerpt from the French novel, "La Disparition",
"A Void" in English. It was a wonderful piece, but what really curled my socks was the fact that the whole novel, about 200 pages, was written without using the letter "E". Imagine that! I can't write this post without using the letter "E" never mind a whole novel. Since then I have found out that others have done the same, not many though. Isn't that just a wonder?


Oh, excuse me, the author of the novel, written in 1969 is Georges Perec.

Wow! That's cool! Thanks for sharing.


(No "E" but it was a short post. Don't think I could do it continuously.

(Couldn't avoid that "E")
