Haroun and the Sea of Stories is an allegory for several problems existing in society today, especially in the Indian subcontinent. It looks at these problems from the viewpoint of the young protagonist Haroun. Rushdie dedicated this book to his son, from whom he was separated for some time.
It was made into an audiobook read by Rushdie himself.

Kurzweilig und mit vielen fantasiereichen Einfällen, sehr bildhaft beschrieben. Leider kam trotzdem keine rechte Bindung zu den Charakteren auf.
