<<Once again I want to reiterate with 5 *s and 14 canons George Perec's Life:

Perec is the author of at least two other notable works.  One, a 1,247-word 
palindrome; and the novel La Disparition, which is written without the letter 
"e."  Perhaps more remarkable, it has been translated, also without the 
letter "e," into English (A Void, trans. Gilbert Adair).
