M:I didn’t see you in creative writing class today. What happened?
W:Oh, just a dentist appointment. That’s all. Say, did we get a new assignment for next week?
M:Yeah. A really interesting one, actually. We’re supposed to write a short story that has some sort of limitation or, or, constraints imposed on it.
W:What do you mean? Like rhyming in a poem?
M:Well, that’ll be an idea But what we write has to be prose, like prose poetry. Just to make rhyme in a poem is too easy, I guess. I think Prof. Eliot really wants to challenge us, to put our creativity to the test.
W:Well, did she give any hints about what she has in mind?
M:Not really, but I may have an idea of the kind of thing she’s looking for. I just finished a really strange book by some French guy. He wrote a whole book without even using a single e.
W:A whole book without a single e? How’s it possible? But, wait a minute. I didn’t know you can
read French.
M:I can’t I read the English translation But get this. There’s not one e in that either.
W:No way. Think of the words you couldn’t use.
M:I know, but that translator manages it. I got the book at home if you want to check out for yourself. What’s really amazing to me is that leaving e in French is no easy job and doing it min English is gonna involve a complete different group of words. It’s a real work of mind.
W:Sometime you have to show me that book. But right now I’d better get going on the writing for next week.
