Ponge, Sollers and the form of the serial radio interview

This article sheds light on Francis Ponge’s interviews with Philippe Sollers by exploring the audio archives of the initial recording sessions and the transcriptions of these sessions. The aim is to see how, together, Ponge and Sollers deployed the form of the serial interview and whether or not they fit into the tradition of the genre. It then aims to show how a certain conception of the subversion of common language through writing affects the course of these interviews.
