Default Re: On writing in a foreign language
Adelbert von Chamisso comes to mind, who was French but decided to write in German. After him the Chamisso-prize is named which honors authors writing in German, whose mother tongue is not German.

Edit: Now that I see this thread again, has anyone read Terezia Mora's Der einzige Mann auf dem Kontinent? She received the Chamisso prize (along with others) this year.
