Wanna try making that the letter E?

- leephillips 6y agoYes, that always astonished me. This novel is famous, but I’ve never met anyone who’s actually read it.
- bigiain 6y agoI have :-) It is, as you and everybody you know seems to have worked out, not really worth the effort, unless you are amused in just the right way by such things. (I did start the French novel influenced by it, but my decades-rusty high school French comprehension was not up to the task...)
- leephillips 6y agoIs that by Queneau? (Probably spelled that wrong.)
- bigiain 6y agoI'd love to make a gag about how it couldn't possibly be - because Queneau has the letter e in it twice... But the one I was referring to is La Disparition by Georges Perec - with the letter e four times... :shrug:
- enriquto 6y agoin my edition of "la disparition" the author is written as "gorgs prc"
