It doesn't have to be famous, just a work that you connect with that you feel represents your country in some way.

I'm from America so of course our literary classics are pretty widely known in the western world, so I'm going to recommend something a bit more niche: There There by Tommy Orange. It shines light on many different aspects of the Native American experience, specifically in Oakland, California. It covers addiction, poverty, culture, and heritage in a way that I (not Native myself) found moving.
