Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a 1990 novel by Salman Rushdie, written as a vibrant, allegorical fairy tale. Though it is often considered a children’s book, it is richly layered with themes that resonate with readers of all ages. Rushdie wrote the story as a gift for his son and it reflects both his personal experiences and broader concerns about storytelling, censorship, and freedom of expression. The story follows Haroun Khalifa, a young boy living in the sad city of Alifbay, a place so desolate that it has forgotten its name. Haroun’s father, Rashid Khalifa, is a famous storyteller who loses his ability to tell stories after Haroun angrily asks why he wastes time on made-up tales. This sets off an adventure as Haroun travels to the magical Sea of Stories to restore his father’s gift and save storytelling itself. The themes of censorship and resistance are seen as reflections of his own struggles during that time.
