O - what a problem!!

[Molivan]

My latest 'thing' to keep me reading books by authors I'm not familiar with is to work my way through the alphabet by author's surname. I'm up to O and stuck.
It ideally has to be someone I haven't read before, so Maggie O'Farrell, George Orwell and Michael Ondaatje are out. Any ideas?
The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Ben Okri, The Famished Road. Would anyone recommend it?

I do think the OP is a little bonkers (no offence, OP ), but it has got me wondering what's going to happen when you get to X. Or even V.

Perhaps we could all suggest books for the rest of the alphabet?

Oh, none taken hackmum
DuchessofMalfi has already suggested an X - Xinran and I am thinking maybe Jules Verne for V - I've never read any of his although, like most people, I am familiar with some of the stories.

Oh, and I should have said, hackmum all suggestion gratefully received for any of the rest of the alphabet
