I find that not liking a country's novelist as a whole a bit strange there are great novelist from many countires that I have read including< China, Iran, Japan, USA, UK, Ireland, Spain, Chile, Peru, Ivory Coast, Turkey, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Turkey, Egypt, India, Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, South Africa, Iceland and Armenia to name a few. Great writers everywhere I would have to say. Faulkner is a genius at writing... too bad you do not like him...

I admire English humor:Fielding, Swift (Irish) Wodehouse, Jerome K Jerome, Wilde (Irish) the list could be longer, but for serious novel, I choose to look elsewhere.
