Lolita - Vladimir Nabakov (Russian)
Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad (Polish)
Imaginary Maps - Mahasweta Devi (Bengali)
edit: I know she has an MA in English so I assume she wrote some of her later books in English. I don't remember whether or not this book was translated.

That's not really usual, I guess... I thought Yevgeny Zamyatin had written "We" in English first but I was mistaken, and his book was first published as "Мы". Some people from India seem to write in English even if it's not their native language, but they're in a former colony so...
