Thank you for asking! If you're not a literature person (or from Argentina), I can see why you've never heard of the guy.

Jorge Luis Borges was an Argentine writer, possibly the most well-known Argentine writer of the 20th century. He was a prominent figure in Latin American literary traditions and his works were translated to a bunch of languages, including English, which got him international renown.

Someone on Here made me aware that there was a fan translation of Robert Kurvitz's novel "Sacred and Terrible Air" and, having willfully allowed Disco Elysium to ruin my life, I had to read it.

The story takes place in the same world as Disco Elysium, with its isolas of matter surrounded by the nothingness of the pale, an element that is central to the book, both textually and thematically. It follows three men, still investigating the disappearance of their high school sweethearts, unable to let go decades after the case was closed with no resolution.

But this is Elysium, so of course there is a lot more going on.

don't go dunking on this person but do go reading the erasure poems in the quote tweets. Some of my favorites:
