What American literature is used in teaching English to non-native speakers, especially in Russia?

When I read Steinbeck’s Tortilla Flat a few years back, I was very surprised to read in the intro that it is used in English classes somewhere abroad, maybe Russia. It seemed such an odd choice for the purpose.

So now I’m curious about the literature that English learners are reading these days, in Russia and elsewhere, and what sort of America it depicts.
