I've read My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante translated from Italian, and it was excellent. I am not sure where you are in the world, but I think for Americans we miss out on a lot of translated literature because so many of our awards and ranking systems prioritize American writers! Quite to our detriment. Disoriental won or was nominated for a staggering number of awards! What a shame its given little visibility. I am adding this to my list for sure :)

I appreciate the recommendations so much. I am doing the "Around the World" challenge and attempting to read a book from every country. I have added quite a few of these to my list!
