Literaturhaus Wien

In the location's words:

The Literaturhaus Wien is a central meeting place for contemporary literature in the city: a place where writing, reading and public debate come together as a matter of course. Its program focuses on readings, book presentations and discussions with authors as well as panel discussions on social and cultural issues that affect literature or emanate from it. The Literaturhaus sees itself not only as a stage for prominent voices, but also as a platform for new positions and literary discoveries - often with a view beyond Austria and with a noticeable openness to different genres, languages and perspectives. The atmosphere is typically that of an urban cultural space: concentrated and curious, with an audience that comes for the texts, but also for the exchange. Thus, the Literaturhaus Wien seems less like an "institution" in the distant sense and more like a lively hub in the city's everyday literary life, where contemporary literature is presented, discussed and thought about.
