Incentives - New Literature from Austria

readme.cc provides multilingual access to the latest Austrian literature. In collaboration with the Literaturhaus in Vienna the reading forum offers the latest insights about literature published in Austria.

Literary journalists and researchers introduce current new publications; reading samples allow for a closer look at the texts; short portraits of the authors complement the picture.

The range of information is currently available in five languages: German, English, French, Czech and Hungarian.

The Project "Incentives" targets at the internationalization of Austrian literature, respectively the translation of current texts.

Project realization: the Office of Documentation of Contemporary Austrian Literature (reviews, author’s portraits) – The Association of Translators (translations) – readme.cc (infrastructure).

[ Favourite quote ] «Es ist die Isolierung des um Welt, das heisst um zeitgenössische Welt ringenden Künstlers in der Schweiz, für den sich sowohl der Kulturschauplatz wie das Lebenstheater der Heimat als zu eng erweist, um wahrhaft tragen zu können.»
