The French drug industry association, the LEEM, is sponsoring the first of what is intended to be an annual literary prize, to be awarded to the best book written by a patient about their condition, to have been published in the past 12 months. The award, titled "Paroles de Patients" ("patients' words"), is given to the top-ranked of 12 books that are reviewed by a jury consisting of academics and journalists. The winning entry will be promoted at one of France's major book store chains, Relay, for one week in November.
