Yes, that always astonished me. This novel is famous, but I’ve never met anyone who’s actually read it.


I 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.

Is that by Queneau? (Probably spelled that wrong.)


I'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:


in my edition of "la disparition" the author is written as "gorgs prc"
