Novel 'Gadsby' doesn't contain the letter 'e'
The novel 'Gadsby' does not contain the letter 'e' in over 50,000 words that make up the book. The author Ernest Vincent Wright is known to have tied down the letter on his typewriter to avoid using it. A six-minute video about the book mentions that Wright used the phrase 'an astonishing loaf of culinary art' instead of 'wedding cake'.
