Around the World in Books

Books Written by authors from countries outside the US. In a personal quest to read books from authors from around the world, so I thought I would start this list to help others!

Always adding more! Please leave suggestions!

From Czech literature I would recommend something by Karel Čapek, for example War with the Newts (satirical fantasy). From Ghana I read Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (a bit brutal and depressing, but worth a read). From Sweden anything by Fredrik Backman (e.g. A Man Called Ove or Anxious People). I'm on a similar quest of reading something from every country so I'll be checking in on this list for sure :)
