Question:  Season of Migration to the North  is a counter narrative to a novella by what Polish-British novelist?

First North Americans are a series of historical fiction novels published by Tor and written by husband and wife co-authors W. Michael Gear & Kathleen O'Neal Gear.  The series, which began with 1990's "People of the Wolf", explores various civilizations and cultures in prehistoric North America.  It is comparable to Jean M. Auel's "Earth's Children" series, set in prehistoric Europe, but each of its books focuses on a different time period, location, and set of characters.  The first four novels form a coherent, more or less linear narrative, from the initial migration of Siberian peoples into what is now Canada and Alaska (People of the Wolf) through the florescence of the Mississippian semi-urban mound-building culture, considered the "high-water mark" of North American pre-Columbian civilization, around 1000 AD.  The remaining novels cover a wide variety of times and settings, in no particular order, ranging from tropical Florida in the 6th millennium BC to the Chaco Empire of the Southwest in the 13th century AD.  The novels take into account new developments in North American archaeology such as the discovery of Kennewick Man and the development of the coastal-route model as a possible alternative or supplement to overland migration across Beringia. <SEP>  Marlow tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England.  This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness. Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella by Polish-British novelist Joseph Conrad, about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa, by the story's narrator Charles Marlow. <SEP>  Originally published in Arabic in 1966, it has since been translated into more than twenty languages.  Salih was fluent in both English and Arabic, but chose to pen this novel in Arabic. Season of Migration to the North (Arabic: موسم الهجرة إلى الشمال‎ ‎ Mawsim al-Hiǧra ilā ash-Shamāl ) is a classic post-colonial Sudanese novel by the novelist Tayeb Salih.  The English translation was published in 1969 as part of the influential Heinemann African Writers Series.  The novel is a counter narrative to "Heart of Darkness".  It was described by Edward Said as one of the six great novels in Arabic literature.  In 2001 it was selected by a panel of Arab writers and critics as the most important Arab novel of the twentieth century. <SEP> Tatsuhiro Ōshiro (大城 立裕 , Ōshiro Tatsuhiro , born 19 September 1925) is a Japanese novelist and playwright.  He was awarded the Akutagawa Prize in 1967 for his novella of the same year, "The Cocktail Party", which has been adapted for the stage and made into a film.  Ōshiro has also been an innovator of the traditional Ryukyuan narrative dance form known as kumi odori.  Having added twenty new pieces to the repertoire, Ōshiro is credited as having "single-handedly revived the genre that originated in the 18th century" by incorporating Okinawa shibai (dramas in the Okinawan language) and distinctive rhythms to construct a fluid, hybrid cultural identity.  His writings have been noted for making Okinawan culture and history accessible to Japanese readership, while his more popular works have been critically praised for "offering an acute perspective on the psychological and moral implications of war and military occupation."
