Many authors are mentioned here: Haruki Murakami, Elena Ferrante, Herte Mueller, Orhan Pamuk, Françoise Sagan and others. What else should we know about?

I am going to read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I read my first Murakami novel this winter and am a little obsessed.
Ah! I've been working on this book for like three weeks now and am not even half way through. I may need to seriously examine my Netflix habit.Jennie wrote: "I am going to read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I read my first Murakami novel this winter and am a little obsessed."
I feel your pain! I have too many shows and book challenges to work!
Just finishing The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katrin Bivald. Translated from Swedish. Very engaging!
I'm looking forward to reading This Earth of Mankind, originally published in Indonesian. I may also read one of the Inspector Singh Investigates series by Shamini Flint, who originally published her works in Singapore.
FINALLY I finished the Murakami book. I haven't quite digested it yet, but I know that I really liked it. It was the perfect amount of weird. :)
Was Isabel Allende on the list? I don't remember. If not, she should be!
I love Allende I'm considering Suite Française for this challenge. A French author who died in a concentration camp if I remember correctly
I read Suite Francaise a while ago and recommend it. It was very good.Shirley wrote: "I love Allende I'm considering Suite Française for this challenge. A French author who died in a concentration camp if I remember correctly"
I read Your Republic Is Calling You, about a North Korean spy who's been living in South Korea without any orders for a really long time when he gets a message. I liked it.
