Ella Minnow Pea is a highly inventive progressively lipogrammatic epistolary cautionary fable. Translation: Mark Dunn has written an incredibly entertaining novel told via letter writing, where the usage of more and more letters of the alphabet becomes banned by the authorities and the language-loving citizens are forced to fight for the linguistic and personal freedom. This tour de force is a breath of fresh air, managing to be both great fun and thought-provoking, and is destined to be a classic.
