Season of Migration to the North

Our Take
Mustafa Sa'eed travels from Sudan to England and weaponizes English women's orientalism against them. Salih inverts Conrad, makes the Arab narrator the figure of knowledge, and the result is a meditation on colonialism and sexuality that refuses every easy reading.
