For English, not using “e” seems like the real challenge.

Several. Later Georges Perec also did
Which is a book about a world in which the letter “E” has disappeared and only one guy notices it. He tries to prove it, but of course all works of literature have been “rewritten” by reality to no longer include E. For example, Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven, is now A Blackbird - which the author includes in full, keeping the original meter and plot.

I heard about this when I was in my twenties, forgot the details, and purchased The Great Gatsby instead.
I thought I was missing something for the longest time. I guess I was.

I left one in there as an exercise for the reader. I also didn’t change the letter position from first to fifth :D

It’s not too difficult to avoid using it.
