Sorry I wasn't very specific earlier but I'm specifically looking for authors writing in English where English is their second language. The Irish did have many good authors but as strange as their language may sound its still English. I'm still surprised no one is mentioning Salman Rushdie.

Joseph Conrad, who was Polish. English was a second language, and yet he mastered it so well that his works are now part of the English canon, like "The Heart of Darkness," "Lord Jim," and "Youth."

Nuri Garimara (Doris Pilkington) wrote a couple of very good books about the lot of the Aborigines under the British. I couldn't put her books down.

Candanian William Shatner (Captain Kirk) wrote some pretty bad science fiction, but it was fun to read.

Well, Yeats is my favorite poet; he's Irish. He's been my favorite poet since I was eleven.
