Here are some of my favorites:
Katherine Anne Porter, Flowering Judas (stories)
Nathaniel West, Miss Lonleyhearts
Dylan Thomas, Under Milk Wood
Charles Lamb, Dissertation on Roast Pork
Henry Miller, Smile at the Foot of the Ladder
Thomas Mann, Transposed Heads; Faustus
Halldor Laxness, Under the Glacier
Willa Cather, My Mortal Enemy; Death Comes to the Archbishop
Heinrich Boll, Billards at Half Past Nine
James Agee, A Death in the Family
T.S. Eliot, Cocktail Party
That's setting aside the "big books" like Melville or Pynchon, and the old stuff (though Lamb is 19th century)
From your list, Gogol, Rhys, Bulgakov and Tennessee Williams catch my eye quickly. But there are a lot of good books on there.
