Anything by Natasha Pulley, Jodi Taylor, Haruki Murakami or Tan Twan Eng.
Non-fiction Bill Bryson (aside from his USA based ones) and Ben McinTyre are excellent.
Replying to this has made me realised I rarely read US based stuff.

I’ll always recommend The Makioka Sisters by Tanizaki.
I’m Czech, so I read Czech books, but I have no idea I they’ve ever been translated (probably not).

Anything by Kate Atkinson but especially Life After Life

Highly recommend Mexican modern lit, Mexico’s having a burst of a modern take on magical realism (it could be insanity, angels, or the US govt after you)
Quesadillas – Juan Pablo Villalobos
Death to the bullshit artists of South Texas – Fernando A Florres
Reservoir bitches – dahlia de la cerda
