And the list linked is far from non-English-speaking - last time I checked, we speak English here in Australia too...

You call that barbarous dialect you mumble in Australia English?
Ok, just joking. I'm originally from Jamaica, and lots of people don't believe English is spoken there.
I guess I should have said "mostly non-English speaking".
Thanks for your list of Aussie authors. Apart from Greg Egan, I didn't know of any Australian SF authors.
What I wanted to do in this thread is expose SF authors outside the US-UK axis. I know of a couple from Canada (Atwood, Sawyer) and a couple from the English-speaking Caribbean(Tobias Bucknell, Nalo Hopkinson). I know of a well regarded SF novel from South Africa ,
Zoo City, Lauren Beukes.. Otherwise, I got nothing from outside UK/US.
I would welcome recommendations of authors from outside UK/US, whether they write in English or not.
