The book by Kurvitz, the disco Elysium guy, got a translation recently from fans who created a translation team. It’s free and you can get it from the subreddit. It even includes bonus material in the form of articles from an Estonian magazine and art made by the team.

The prose is excellent and just feels good inside your head as you read it. It honestly reminds me of “We, the drowned”, another excellent book.

Has anyone else here read it? I’d love to discuss.

    I haven't read the book but I've read about the book; and I played the game. The book was written before the game so I can't imagine playing the game is a required prerequisite. But given how the game gets into the lore of the universe Kurvitz and his friends built, you will probably get a lot more out of the book if you play the game first.
