Eunoia

'Eunoia', which means 'beautiful thinking', is the shortest word in the English language to contain all five vowels. Each of Eunoia's five chapters is univocalic: that is, each chapter uses only one vowel. This book also contains them all, but never at the same time.

A challenging feat of composition and technical skill, Bok has worked this into a series of compelling narratives and rhythms. A triumphant feat, seven years in the making, this uncanny work of avant-garde literature is one of the most surprising and awe-inspiring books of the year.
