The novel spans from [[Sandycove]] in the South to [[Howth Head]] in the North, with detailed descriptions of [[Dublin]] locations that parallel those in [[Homer|Homer's]] ''[[Odyssey]]''. [[Leopold Bloom]]'s home at [[7 Eccles Street]] serves as a modern-day [[Homer's Ithaca|Ithaca]], while other landmarks represent various episodes of the Odyssey. ΩAlso, in [[Tayeb Salih]]'s ''[[Season of Migration to the North]]'' (1966), the setting is crucial. The story begins in the Sudanese village of Wad Hamed before shifting to [[London|London, England]]. This contrast between the two locations highlights the protagonist Mustafa Saeed's struggle with cultural, social, and psychological challenges as he moves between his homeland and the West. Wad Hamed symbolizes tradition and rural life, while London represents modernity and colonial influence. Salih skillfully employs setting to explore themes of identity, cultural clash, and colonialism's enduring impact.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Murad |first=Rimun |date=2018 |title=Emotional Distance: Transnational Pleasure in Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.13169/arabstudquar.40.3.0213 |journal=Arab Studies Quarterly |volume=40 |issue=3 |pages=213β232 |doi=10.13169/arabstudquar.40.3.0213 |jstor=10.13169/arabstudquar.40.3.0213 |issn=0271-3519}}</ref> |}
