Finding out about works from author countries?

I've been exploring the world of translated literature and have been absolutely astounded by all the wonderful works out there.

I'm currently trying to read more asian lit and it has basically been limited to translated Japanese, Korean and Chinese authors. This is ultimately do to availability. Particularly Japanese authors are very popular where I live. There are tables dedicated to them in bookstores. This is for sure rightly so as there is a lot of excellent Japanese literature out there.

But, I as i have been trying to broaden my horizons a bit more and have struggled to find authors from other areas. This extends outside of Asian countries as African literature is high up on my list to explore aswell and ive struggled to discover authors. The few I have are either lucky finds or direct recommendation.

How do you find out about these authors? Do you have any to recommend?
