There’s a 50,000 word story without the letter ‘E’

Did you know that there’s a story of 50,000 words and no letter ‘E’? This story is ‘Gadsby’ and was written in 1939 by Ernest Vincent Wright.

The plot is about the dying fictional city of Branton Hills, which is revitalized by John Gadsby and a youth group he organizes.

Some interesting questions may have been how did he form past tenses since he didn’t use -ed or even connectives like ‘consequently’ or ‘furthermore’.

This might have been really difficult, as ‘E’ is the most common letter in English!
