About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 11 recordings of When Father Carves the Duck by Ernest Vincent Wright. This was the Weekly Poetry project for November 27, 2016. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; David Lawrence; Garth Burton; Greg Giordano; Ian King; Jude; Lee Ann Howlett; Leonard Wilson; Matthew Datcher; Tomas Peter and tovarisch. Ernest Vincent Wright was an American author known for his book Gadsby, a 50,000-word novel which, except for the introduction and a note at the end, did not use the letter "e". The biographical details of his life are unclear. A 2002 article in the Village Voice by Ed Park said he might have been English by birth but was more probably American. The article said he might have served in the navy and that he has been incorrectly called a graduate of MIT. The article says that he attended a vocational high school attached to MIT in 1888 but there is no record that he graduated. Park said rumors that Wright died within hours of Gadsby being published are untrue. ( Wikipedia)
