I'm posting this for a friend. She would like suggestions for foreign
authors who are published in English. She is doing a summer reading club
with this as her theme so she wants authors from all over the world. Thanks.

Hi,
Here are a few more international authors I haven't seen listed yet:
Chinua Achebe (Nigeria, Africa)
Amos Tutuola (Nigeria, Africa)
Jorge Amado (Brazil)
Manuel Puig (South America, Argentina?)
Mario Varga Llosa (Peru)
Isabel Allende (Chile)
Carlos Fuentes (Mexico)
Alejo Carpentier (Cuba)
Jose Saramago (Portugal)
Umberto Eco (Italy)
Italo Calvino (Italy)
Herman Hesse (Germany)
Gunter Grass (Germany)
Heinrich Boll (Germany)
Thomas Mann (Germany)
Peter Hoeg (Denmark)
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Russia)
Isaac Bashevis Singer (Yiddish)

I would highly recommend the novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, especially
"Love in the Time of Cholera," which is one of the most stunning works of
fiction I have ever read.

Denis
