Dadabhoy, Ambereen. “‘Othello Was a Lie’: Wrestling with Shakespeare’s Othello.” In Shakespeare and Cultural Appropriation, eds. Vanessa I. Corredera, L. Monique Pittman, and Geoffrey Way, 94-111. London: Routledge, 2023.
A study of how Tayeb Salih’s Season of Migration to the North constructs relationships to Shakespeare’s Othello. The article showcases the novel’s “oppositional appropriation” of Othello by sharply delineating the limitations of the play, forcing readers to attend to persons and places not engaged by Shakespeare. Of interest to students of English, postcolonial studies, Shakespeare studies, and Middle Eastern studies.
