International alternatives...

I've recently realised I read a lot of American literature. I'd like to broaden my horizons so I'm wondering for fun if anyone out there can suggest an international (i.e non-US) counterpart for any of the following or just general non-US recommendations?

Denis Johnson
David Foster Wallace
Flannery O'Conner
Carson McCullers

China Mieville. I'd probably suggest you start with The City and The City but they're all good.

  Hey 2942, thanks for this. Looks more like sci-fi though. Have you read much Vonnegut?
