Ernest Vincent Wright

Ernest Vincent Wright was an American author best known for his 1939 novel "Gadsby," which is remarkable for being written entirely without the letter 'E,' one of the most commonly used letters in the English language. This constrained writing style showcases his creativity and linguistic skill. "Gadsby" tells the story of a town and its inhabitants striving for progress and community without the letter 'E' appearing in any of the text. Wright's work is often cited in discussions of lipograms, a form of constrained writing where a specific letter is omitted, highlighting the challenges and possibilities of language.
