Amazing Literary Feats!

It's an ambigram!!!


Ever hear of lipograms? Well, if you want to get a headache, read Gadsby. If you want to get a migrane, contemplate writing something like that. If you want to have a heart attack, try duplicating the feat. It killed Ernest Vincent Wright, anyway- he died the day Gadsby got published. I don't know quite how but I'm assuming it wasn't suicide becasue that would have occured after the first few pages if it was going to happen at all.

Today it isn't as difficult.

The net never had greater relevance, eh? Spell-checkers are rather handy as well. Heh. :)

(ok, I admit it, I had to copy said writing for this. It's a lot of fun, suprisingly.)

Eh... copy as in emulate the style, not as duplicate word for word.

That is significantly astonishing to warrant my own honouring of such skill within this post, in a small way, but so far as my ability allows. My thanks for bringing this to my sight, it was most intriguing. I would without a doubt wish for insight into any such curios which you may find forthcoming.
