La disparition, first published in France in 1969, a lipogrammatic novel, translated here by Gilbert Adair. There are apparently three other English translations, -'A Vanishing', 'Vanish'd' and 'Omissions' - all unpublished, as well as translations into twelve other languages. The original version was written on a typewriter with, reputedly, a drawing pin glued strategically to one of the typewriter's characters.
