The World Cup...of Fiction?

I'm a huge World Cup fanatic--planning on watching at least part of every match. For those of you who aren't, or just need more to do :), there's always the World Cup of Fiction. Which I just made up.How do you play? Take one or more of the countries below and do a blog post about your favorite fiction/books from that place/those places. Perhaps leaving out the obvious suspects like the US and England. As for any rules other than that, I'll leave it up to you.I'll tackle a few of these on Omnivoracious in the next couple of weeks, but overlap's always good. If you do post something, please link it here, too.What're the countries?
