Notwithstanding a grinding stint of work, our path brought forth naught but irration, fiasco, and downright rout, in trying to frag a synopsis: crisp, concis, amusing, on La Disparition. Thus, admit our loss, for want of a not banal introduction, this daft alibi built too grammatically, brimming with vagaries lacking a link to vocalization. No‑body could pull off a job any brainier, brighter, or purer; and yay, it took a big craft, a job that’s most uncommon, to sculpt a whole novel without that vowel!
Sound, no rip or fold. To put it briskly: mint.
