The letter "E" is important for code breaking. If you do a frequency analysis on a substitution cipher, it is easy to figure out what symbols are used as code for the letter "E." This is simple code breaking, but it's best to start with the fundamentals. These books, that omit the letter "E", always remind codebreakers to expect the unexpected when people really want to keep secrets hidden.

In italian we do it with the letter u!! Although we can also use *, @ and most importantly ə for singular and з for plural

I’m so glad you mentioned Ella Minnow Pea! It was a big deal at the time. Not Oprah book club big deal like The Many Lives of Mamma Love, but readers were definitely talking about it and loving it. For some reason I always associate it with a book that was released around the same time called Balzac and the little Chinese Seamstress. They have nothing to do with one another but I remember they would always be on the same display table.

I listened to a book where the plot surrounded the letter D disappearing from the English language. Literally called, D by Michel Faber. I liked it a lot! :)

How to avoid writing a novel that uses the letter E: 1. Don’t write in a language that includes the letter E.

If you haven't yet, you should watch Stranger than Fiction! It has the same premise of the main character finding out he's actually being written about in real-time. One of my favorite movies!

In her book “Etre à sa place”, the philosopher Claire Marin has very beautiful sentences which speak of La disparition de Perec and the loss of parents: “If we can write an entire book without the letter E, we can go through a life, even pierced by an absence which takes up all the space. We can continue to unfold the story of an existence, even if this absence changes our grammar, darkens our vocabulary. When we have lost those who mattered most to us, it takes madness and ingenuity to live without them, just as it takes to write a story without E.” 😢
