I'm surprised at the lack of authors from Russia, France and Germany, Homey. I can't remember if you particularly like fantasy or not, but if you're looking for an African writer:
Who Fears Death? by Nnedi Okorafor won the World Fantasy Award for 2011. It was also nominated for a couple of other awards.
I haven't read it yet, but I'll be reading it next year if I can't fit it in this year.
