Österreichischer Schriftstellerverband

The Austrian Writers' Association (German: Österreichischer Schriftstellerverband, abbr. OESV) has been founded in 1945 and was thus one of the first Austrian professional associations after World War II. The association fosters the communication between writers and the contact between authors and readers and is located in Vienna, Austria. Sidonia Gall is chairman of the OESV.

On a regular basis, the OESV runs author's readings in the Viennese Literaturhaus (House of Literature). Twice per year, the magazine Literarisches Österreich (Literary Austria) publishes essays and book reviews. The association published the following anthologies (in German) with texts of the ÖSV members:

gollark: Nobody can diss my rhymesBecause they are made from fresh limesThis is the next lineApparently that rhymes with pine
gollark: My rhymes are strangeBut I'm going to rhyme with orængeI'm using a rhyming dictionaryOnline, not from the libraryTechnically it's an API for word association queriesThere exists a thing known as a "geometric series"
gollark: I am going to rip you apartSimilarly to shredded cheeseBy deploying a railgunWhich shoots bees
gollark: I made time parsing workthough it has a weird quirkbecause it turns out that general parsing of times is quite a hard problem, so I just had it parse one hardcoded date format, parse time *deltas* using a nice regex, and use some random library for the rest.
gollark: Install potatOSIt's the best OSOS rhymes with OSso this is a rap... OS.
