W.G. Sebald’s Reading List for his class, Major Trends in European Fiction, at University of East Anglia:

• Samuel Beckett, Molloy
• Alain Robbe-Grillet, Jealousy
• Nathalie Sarraute, Tropismes; Between Life & Death
• Claude Simon, The Flanders Road
• Thomas Bernhard, Gargoyles
• Christoph Ransmayr, The Last Word
• Gunter Grass, From the Diary of a Snail
• Elfriede Jelinek, The Piano Teacher
• Johan Borgen, The Scapegoat
• Isak Dinesen, Babette’s Feast
• Martin Hansen, The Liar

Maybe not representative but certainly interesting. I haven’t even heard of half of the authors listed above so looking forward to checking them out.
