Review:
"An Arabian Nights in reverse; the brilliant student of an earlier generation returns to his Sudanese village; obsessed with the mysterious West and a desire to bite the hand that has half-fed him, has led him to London and the beds of women with similar obsessions about the mysterious East."-The Observer

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 5" x 7.5", is new, still in shrinkwrap. 169 pages. "After years of study in Europe, the young narrator of "Season of Migration" to the North returns to his village along the Nile in the Sudan. It is the 1960s, and he is eager to make a contribution to the new postcolonial life of his country. Back home, he discovers a stranger among the familiar faces of childhood the enigmatic Mustafa Sa eed. Mustafa takes the young man into his confidence, telling him the story of his own years in London, of his brilliant career as an economist, and of the series of fraught and deadly relationships with European women that led to a terrible public reckoning and his return to his native land. But what is the meaning of Mustafa s shocking confession? Mustafa disappears without explanation, leaving the young man whom he has asked to look after his wife in an unsettled and violent no-man s-land between Europe and Africa, tradition and innovation, holiness and defilement, and man and woman, from which no one will escape unaltered or unharmed. "Season of Migration to the North" is a rich and sensual work of deep honesty and incandescent lyricism. In 2001 it was selected by a panel of Arab writers and critics as the most important Arab novel of the twentieth century.". Seller Inventory # ABE-1688082652788
