Ella Minnow Pea: a Progressively Lipogrammatic Epistolary Fable

Title: Ella Minnow Pea: a Progressively Lipogrammatic Epistolary Fable
Author: Mark Dunn

This epistolary fable is one for lovers of language. If you enjoy the pieces of our language, you will be able to appreciate this tale of a fictional island off the coast of South Carolina where the inhabitants speak so eloquently and revere the use of language. However, all of their linguistic abilities -- as well as their sanity -- will be tried as individual letters of the alphabet are eliminated by their High Island Council. This tale is so clever and intelligent that you may never take your alphabet for granted again!

Fiction; not rated
