Publisher's Synopsis

"Gadsby" is a novel written by Ernest Vincent Wright. The book is unique in that it was written entirely without the use of the letter "e", which is one of the most commonly used letters in the English language. The story is set in the fictional town of Branton Hills and follows the life of John Gadsby, a young man who becomes the mayor of the town. Gadsby is determined to revitalize Branton Hills, which has fallen into decline and enlists the help of the town's youth to achieve his goal. Will he get successful? If yes, then How? To know these answers readers should go through this book! The book is written in a simple and straightforward style, with a focus on storytelling rather than complex language. Despite the constraints imposed by the lack of the letter "e", Wright manages to create a coherent and engaging narrative that explores themes of community, leadership, and perseverance. "Gadsby" is a fascinating literary experiment that demonstrates the power of language and the importance of creative thinking in overcoming obstacles.
