Been playing around with a book idea. It’s in the style of the Ouipo inspired book, A Void. The book, written in French, is done so without using the letter “e”. Perec is a mad man and an amazing writer. And I don’t think anything I will write will be anywhere near that quality.
I want to write something similar that is a world without ‘ai’ (written by AI*). It’s been fun structuring chapters, characters, themes, settings, etc. I’m not a writer by training, but I do like word play and so this has been fun.
I have no hope or dreams of publishing, but I might show a few friends who get it. And hope that it tickles them the way it tickles me.
* I really don’t like the output so far. And I have my doubts about it becoming good. But I got something that wasn’t outright bad the other night. So who knows?
A buddy of mine just told me about an other one sentence. Dies: A Sentence is by Vanessa Place whose gotten more than a little heat lately for some of her provocative art. While I haven’t read it, he says it’s good. We have similar enough tastes that I trust him.

I once read a book without punctuation. It was very difficult to read! It was about a hypothetical apocalypse where everyone suddenly goes blind.
“Blindness” by José Saramago
I don’t specifically recommend it though.
Good luck writing your book 🙂
