When Father Carves the Duck is a novel by Ernest Vincent Wright, published in 1936. The book is notable for its unique narrative style and is a follow-up to Wright's earlier work, Gadsby, which famously avoids the letter 'e'. The story explores themes of family and tradition through the lens of a father preparing a holiday meal. Wright's innovative approach to language and storytelling makes this work significant in the context of American literature.
