Assignment 3: RADIO STAR

Assignment: 99 words. Title: Radio Star. You cannot use the letter E.

A radio star in many ways is an optimal companion.

With an ability to look as old, young, ugly or alluring as your imagination will allow, company of such quality will in no way find you wanting.

Fantastic for all occasions, your companion will charm you with musical flair and you can sing or jig along to your pick of songs morning, noon and night.

In a loving mood? Simply turn your radio star on with a flick of a switch.

Dating a star known globally by many is a sound and satisfying way of making your pals’ jaws drop.


This one was a little tricky, but not a scratch on the novel called "A Void" by Oulipo member Georges Perec, which he wrote entirely without using the letter E. The novel was originally written in French; "La Disparition" (1969), and was later translated into English using the same constraints.
