Gadsby is a 1939 novel by Ernest Vincent Wright, written entirely without the letter e, a famous lipogram. It follows John Gadsby and the residents of Branton Hills as they work to improve their town and its young people. It is worth listening to for its wordplay and as a classic experiment in constrained writing.
