Your post brings to mind Christian Bök’s “Ubu Hubbub”:

Edit: He also likes to play around with lipograms and similar constrained writing techniques, check out “Eunoia” if you are into that: https://youtu.be/zhQjfr8b9Wg?t=39

I laughed out loud listening to the recording. It's so grating! But very fun
