The intersection of literature and mass media has long been a subject of scholarly inquiry, particularly regarding how authors engage with the technological constraints and possibilities of sound recording. Writers and Radio (Les écrivains et la radio), published in 2003, is the third volume in the "Literature and Radio" series launched in 2000, which combines academic studies, documents, and archival CDs.

The volume, edited by Pierre-Marie Héron, is a 416-page work accompanied by a 74-minute audio CD. It was awarded the 2004 Research Prize by the History of Broadcasting Committee. Readers interested in the history of French media and the evolution of literary communication may find it relevant.
