What have they contributed to literature? Is there a single great novelist from this area? Can you name a work that you think every /lit/fag should read?

Jaan Kross's historical fiction, Anton Hansen Tammsaare's novels, the "Seasons" by Kristijonas Donelaitis.

IIRC Dostoyevsky was descended from Polish-Lithuanian gentry in Russia

So by this reasoning, all American literature is actually English literature?

Very interesting fact, but ultimately a completely useless comment. You know what I mean.

Grand duchy of lithuania was massive and included Belarus unless his ancestors were Catholics it's not likely he was Lithuanian
I think Tolstoy's ancestors were actual Catholic lithuanians

Rehepapp ehk november (Old Barny aka November) by Andrus Kivirähk from Estonia is the only one I’ve ever read, but it’s pretty good. Good folklore/historical fiction. Decently funny as well

Is Disco Elysium considered literature? Literary?

I think it's great when a country resists pandering to English-only readers so that English-only readers. Leave them alone and read some Americanised junk like Vick Pakis or Darius Baronas or something made for your wavelength.

Non-Baltic since most of the dev team are Russo-Jewish mutts who have already moved to London, as Russo-Jewish mutts do whenever they get some money. Half the dev team don't even speak Estonian.

Now we wait for a Ukrainian to come about and hoholsplain how Western Ukraine akshually never was Polish-Lithuanian in any way.
