Hol up! Do NOT instill Bing into this discussion. Bing sucks, and, inb4, Duck Duck Go is just Bing strutting different pants. I'm singing about my glowing utilization of Kagi for about a month or so. You should try it out for a bit. It's good to stick it to giants on occasion, regardless of how much it cost.
You don't say? But you said it. Why, you don't find it - approaching mortality for saying it, as in A Void - intimidating? I admit though, not using it is limiting. A book writ without that symbol... Wow. But I must stop now, I can't think of any words without it.
A Void's plot follows a group of individuals looking for a missing companion, Anton Vowl. It is in part a parody of noir and horror fiction, with many stylistic tricks, gags, plot twists, and a grim conclusion. On many occasions it implicitly talks about its own lipogrammatic limitation, highlighting its unusual syntax. A Void's protagonists finally work out which symbol is missing, but find it a hazardous topic to discuss, as any who try to bypass this story's constraint risk fatal injury. Philip Howard, writing a lipogrammatic appraisal of A Void in his column Lost Words, said "This is a story chock-full of plots and sub-plots, of loops within loops, of trails in pursuit of trails, all of which allow its author an opportunity to display his customary virtuosity as an avant-gardist magician, acrobat and clown."
I also find it funny that this paragraph from OP's link also avoids using an individual symbol. I'm also trying to do it in my post, but it's hard to form any thought without it. I don't think that I could draft a full book using this constraint, and notably a book that's so cognizant of it's own imposing limitation and of it's protagonists habit of fourth wall smashing.
How surprising! I thought that symbol most popular in "La disparition"'s original localism, but this wiki says this translation's vocabulary has a similar proportion and thus - probably - a similar difficulty.
Lovecraft Howard Philip called the author a clown. I don't know if that's an insult or a compliment, given the time period that would have had to be in. Clowns were cool at some point, right?
It was literally in the wiki you linked to lol. Though I was mistaken, it wasn't Howard Philip Lovecraft, but "Philip Howard."
