Why does Austria have a higher number of heterosexual aids/HIV patients as the proportion of their population then any other western country?

I realy don't understand it

All of the Austrian greats hated each other
>Set against the gargantuan modernist tomes being written at the time, Zweig’s novellas seemed pedestrian and quaint. Hofmannsthal and Joseph Roth both dispraised him, Thomas Mann plainly thought him a bad writer, and when a friend suggested to Robert Musil that he apply for a visa to Colombia in 1940, Musil protested on grounds of proximity: “Stefan Zweig’s in South America.” For Musil, apparently, anywhere in the same continent with Zweig was too close for comfort.

you forgot Luther
he washed his hands five hours a day and confessed for five hours a day, show respect Schwarzenegger

How much of a meme is Mann? I know Nabokov hated him.

i don't know, you tell me.

Why do you keep making this shit thread with 9gag tier bait? Austria had no great literary talents besides Rilke, Trakl and Musil.

What comes close to this beautiful man?

But worse.

Please someone explain how different is the way germans and austrians write. More rigid syntax in german works? Other way round? More spontaneous metaphors on one side? How can a well-read reader spot the difference between the prose of authors from these countries?
