Wright spent five and a half months writing Gadsby on a typewriter with the e key tied down so that it couldn\'t be used at all.
Over time, this peculiar masterpiece has had many curious readers open to this interestingly unusual reading experience..
The book\'s scarcity and oddness has in the past seen copies priced at $4,000 by book dealers.
But by word-of-mouth it has become an underground cult classic.
The book was never reviewed and only kept alive by the efforts of a few avant-garde intellos and assorted connoisseurs of the odd, weird and zany.
A warehouse holding copies of Gadsby burned shortly after the book was printed, destroying most copies of the ill-fated novel.
