Martin Laurie wrote a story about that sometime ago. I suspect that would be the subject of a scurrilous story kept by some anti-solar group.

Even in the Lunar Empire, the vast majority of the population is illiterate and the vast majority of writers are clerks or priests. I doubt there is anything resembling "popular literature".
