Description
The young narrator's return to his village along the Nile in the Sudan marks a turning point in his life. After years of study in Europe, he is eager to contribute to the new postcolonial life of his country. However, his encounter with Mustafa Sa'eed, a stranger from his childhood, sets him on a path of discovery and confrontation. Mustafa's story, one of brilliant career and fraught relationships, raises questions about the meaning of his shocking confession. The young man is left to navigate the complexities of Mustafa's past, and his own place within the world. This rich and sensual novel explores the tensions between tradition and innovation, holiness and defilement, and the human experience. Published in 2009, Season of Migration to the North is a deeply honest and lyrically written work that has been selected as the most important Arab novel of the twentieth century by a panel of Arab writers and critics.
