 Geoffrey Baker, Intro to Short Fiction, Summer 2003, Rutgers University, week one
Salih's prose (especially when giving voice to Mustafa Sa'eed) is reminiscent of classical Arabic poetic diction in its occasional lyricality, repetition, and frames of reference (camels, arrows, waterskins, erotics, etc.).
Mu'allaqah of Labid"; I can't find this whole poem in English, but the pieces of it here will at least hint at some of the elegiac mood of Mustafa's long narration in Salih's novel.
As the novel progresses, other oppositions become noticeable: fl and white, man and woman, town and country, colonizer and native, colonial and post-colonial, love and hatred, and, very importantly, North and South.

The Wedding of Zein and Other Stories by Tayeb Salih
In Salih's version, instead of a European intellectual travelling to Africa to be corrupted by his contact with "primitive savagery," the protagonist starts out as an idealistic young man from Sudan who travels northward to Europe, where he is undone by corruption, decadence, and the mutual destructiveness of unhappy love affairs.
The novel is cleverly written and well translated, with terrific insights into the relationships of southern and northern hemispheres; the colonized to their colonizers; Arabs and Europeans; and men and women.
