… Or non-”E”s, depending on how you choose to look at the situation.

Ernest Vincent Wright of America wrote “Gadsby: Champion of Youth”, a novel of around 50,000 words, that does not have the letter E in even one of those.

What makes the novel amazing is that it is fully and completely grammatically correct and has complete sense, not disjointed because of the lack of the most common letter in the alphabet.

The only thing that makes me wonder is, did the author disregard his first and middle names as well for this book?
