A lot of these hit hard, props to translator of all of them Ritva Poom who I can find zero information about. My favorites were The Swan Stealing which has an incredibly contemporary-feeling indictment of "the turning away from Socialist ideals" to individualism as the intro puts it, The Rococo Lady, Elsa Hermann, and He Translated. Beautiful nation of Estonia I was not familiar with your game

I really enjoyed the stories in this book. They were written in the second half of the 20th century. Although they portray the somber mood of the country, the themes and ideas were unlike other stories I have read.
