Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to answer the question of what Bruno Schulz’s voice might have sounded like. Only a few witnesses mention it, and their reports are sometimes contradictory. In the prewar Polish press many radio programs are listed, some of which mention that the Polish Radio broadcast Schulz’s reading of his short story “Dodo.” Thus, it is believed that the author of The Cinnamon Shops was actually on air, and perhaps more literary programs devoted to Schulz have been broadcast as well. It still seems possible to find the archival materials on which Schulz’s voice might have survived.
