A Void & Lipograms

The reading of "The Void" was not one of my favorites. It was so difficult to comprehend Perec's writing without the use of the letter "e." My first initial thought was, why would one want to do such a task? I'm sure many others have thought this same thing. Maybe it was because he wanted to see himself succeed in such a large and challenging task. Using lipograms in poems is more realistic, because poems are known more for their creative and challenging ways. Taking out the letter "e" made it seems like everything was more wordy. Like Perec had to find ways to go around what he really wanted to say because there was an "e" in the word or sentence. I give him a great deal of credit for doing a task like this.
