A Void and Lipograms

When I was reading Perec's A Void I was greatly distracted at first. For about the first twenty pages I had to stop frequently and was easily distracted. The entire time I just kept thinking about how there was not an "e" to be found and I couldn't focus on the actual story, only the lack of the "e" from it. After those first few pages I became much more used to the text and was no longer distracted by the missing letter. By referencing other literary works Perec is even more creative by manipulating their language to describe the same situations. I really liked the novel so far and am looking forward to seeing what Perec does with language throughout the rest of it.
