Hemingway: Big two hearted river
Fitzgerald: Babylon revisited
Kafka: In the penal colony
Faulkner: Red leaves
Borges: Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote; Three versions of Judas; The Library of Babel; the Zahir...
I'd also include a few folk tales from folklorists like the Grimm Bros. & Yanagita Kunio
I'm also partial to
Sakaguchi Ango's "In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom" & Salinger's "Franny"
