Written by Georges Perec in 1969, it's noted for being a book without the letter "e" which is the most common letter in the French language. Its original title was La Disparition (The Disappearance) and was translated into English by Gilbert Adair in 1994 and managed to keep the letter "e" from appearing at all. Perec stated that he wrote A Void upon realising that if he removed all of the "e"s from his name he didn't exist any longer. Later Perec would write a book called Three which doesn't have a single vowel in it except the letter "e".
