Noe School


Lipogram (from Ancient Greek: λειπογράμματος, "leaving out a letter") a kind of writing in which a particular letter or group of letters is avoided—usually a common vowel, and frequently "E", the most common letter in the English language.
I greatly enjoy lipogram books for adults, in particular A Void by Georges Perec. It was a great fun and a challenge to write what I believe is the first lipogram book for children--a novel without a solitary e in it. That's right: no the, there, where, when, he, she, or they. Now in paperback at all online stores: Noe School on Amazon
