Hi,
You can look at Tayib Salih's *Season of Migration To the North*
(a sort of re-writing of Heart of Darkness) and Ama Ata Aidoo's *Our
Sister Killjoy*. I don't know if you are interested in pursuing a South
Asian connection, but if yes, Rushdie's *The Satanic Verses* and Amitav
Ghosh's *The Shadow Lines* (among others) would be appropriate.
