This Film Has No “E” In It - (Or This 50,000 Word Book)

Published on Wed, May 27th 2020 Education Rectangular HD

'E' is the most common letter in the English language. In fact, in the previous sentence it appeared seven time in just 10 words.

That's what made Gadsby, so remarkable; a 50,000 word novel that doesn't use the letter 'E' at all. In this video I explore this type of writing, and take the challenge of putting together a (hopefully) coherent video with the same limitation.

Spoiler: It's hard.
