Non-English writers writing in English

[nyggus]

Hi,

I am eager to learn names of writers for who English is/was a second or a foreign language and who write/wrote in English. I mean: they write/wrote, not are/were translated. I'd be obliged for any names.

Let me start with the first one, the only one I am aware of: Joseph Conrad, a Polish writer.

Thanks,
Nyggus

Salman Rushdie

What a stupid I am. I'm just reading Vladimir Nabokov's book, and isn't he one of the greatest writers of this type?

[Tdol]

He certainly is.

I wonder what George Bernard Shaw's first language was? English or Deutsch? if it was the latter, he was also one of them.

English. What makes you think it might be German?

Thank you for telling me :)
I got some misinformation about his birthplace... though now I know that he was born in his Irish hometown.

And there was Jerzy Kosinski, another Polish writer writing in English...
