This is a story about the fictional country of Nollop, an island located off the coast of South Carolina. Nollop was named after the man who invented the phrase "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog". The letters making up these words are on the statue of Mr. Nollop in the town center, and one day, the letters start to fall off. The town council takes it upon themselves to ban that letter from their vocabulary, but then more and more letters start to fall off...
This is a quirky novel, and short; I read it in a day. This is an unusual choice for a novel, to be sure, but it does succed as a satire. It also is a commentary about totalitarianism and governments getting way out of hand.
