Quite a lot. Here is a list of a few recommended writers and poets. The hard ones are marked specially as a way to further understanding on abstract contemporary literature. And sorry for such a late reply. I've been on an internship for these months. These categories are divided based on how the authors are perceived by us. 

-----------------------

Playwriters:

Peter Handke

Elfriede Jelinek (hard)

-----------------------

Novelists:

Nathalie Sarraute

Herta Müller (our favorite)

László Krasznahorkai (for Sátántangó)

Imre Kertész

Mikhail Shishkin

-----------------------

Poets:

Paul Celan (our favorite, and very hard)

Elizabeth Bishop

Yves Bonnefoy

Phillippe Jaccottet (has a similar style to the first section)

Anne Carson (quite hard)

Oskar Pastior (the hardest on the list)

-----------------------

Others:

Annie Erneaux

Jean Baudrillard

-----------------------

Austrian State Prize for European Literature, Nobel Prize in Literature, The Booker Prizes, Büchner Prize are all generally good standards for choosing a good author. Try following those. I MUST be missing a lot of good writers. DO NOT TAKE ANYONE NOT ON THIS LIST AS A SIGN OF DISRECOMMENDATION!

Frankly I am jealous of how fast books are published in English. The Chinese translators are never fast enough. Read more and be grateful that you have such a wide range of options right on the bookshelf. This list really should go on and on and on.
