Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a 1990 children's book[1] by Salman Rushdie. It was Rushdie's first novel after The Satanic Verses. It is a phantasmagorical story set in a city so old and ruinous that it has forgotten its name.
Haroun and the Sea of Stories is an allegory for several problems existing in society today, especially in India and the Indian subcontinent. It looks at these problems from the viewpoint of the preteen protagonist Haroun. It is also interesting to note that Rushdie dedicated this book to his son, Zafar, from whom he was separated for some time.
It was made into an audiobook read by Salman Rushdie himself, unfortunately most of what can be found now is the 2002 audiobook, read by Zia Mohyeddin.
