Hamsun and Knausgaard are the only Norwegians I know of.

Stig Dagerman should be relatively easy to find, for example http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2014/jan/31/to-kill-a-child/ . I believe he was quite recently republished in english. For Stig Larsson I actually dont know, I thought it would be easier..., but his most famous book is probably The Autists
