A few I can think of:

Albania - Ismail Kadare - I've read all of them in French, however not all are available in English and IIRC the English version is translated from the French rather than from the original in Albanian

France - Lautreamont was missing from Istvan's rather good list

Japan - Kawabata, Inoue, Abe, Tanizaki and a few more for the classics

Lebanon - Amin Maalouf

Algeria - Malika Mokkedem - not sure what is available in English though

Egypt - Naguib Mahfouz

Italy - Italo Calvino

Pakistan - Tariq Ali (the Islam Quintet)

Hungary - Sandor Marai, Magda Szabo

Peru - Mario Vargas Llosa

Portugal: Jose Saramago

Morocco: Tahar Ben Jelloun
