Constrained writing is the art of constructing a work of prose or poetry that obeys some artificial condition, often related to the alphabet or some other aspect of word or sentence structure. For example, there are two published novels from which the letter e is absent - Gadsby, by Ernest Vincent Wright (1938), and La Disparition by George Perec (still in print, and even available in a recent English translation (A Void, translated by Gilbert Adair) that also obeys the constraint!).

Over 5,000 decimals of pi this way o.O And the last chapter have no o, because the letter o is a circle so it makes the whole thing ironic. I'm totally impressed. I don't know how long it took that guy to write that thing but he probably have a lot of time on his hands.
