Gilbert Adair (29 December 1944 – 8 December 2011)[1] was a Scottish novelist, poet, film critic, and journalist.[2][3] He was critically most famous for the "fiendish"[4] translation of Georges Perec's postmodern novel A Void, in which the letter e is not used,[4] but was more widely known for the films adapted from his novels, including Love and Death on Long Island (1997) and The Dreamers (2003).[2]
