You'll find a number of names amongst the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize's winners, it being a prize for foreigners writing in German.

I've went to readings by Saša Stanišic (Bosnian) Tawada Yōko (Japanese), and Terezia Mora (Hungarian) at the Goethe Institut in recent times. Plus the Bulgarian writer Ilija Trojanow writes in German.
