Haroun
and the Sea of Stories is on the surface a children's novel that Rushdie wrote
for his 11 year old son. After a more in depth reading though, the novel
emerges as a satire on the restrictions imposed on freedom of speech.
The
novel is basically about a young boy (Haroun) whose father is a renowned
storyteller but loses the gift of gab after his wife elopes. Haroun wants to
restore his father's abilities of storytelling and thus embarks on a
fantastical adventure that takes him to another planet, where there is constant
strife between speech and silence.
He
meets incredible creatures who become his friends and he gets involved in the
battle of silence v/s speech, the battle to save the stories of the world. At
the end he succeeds in restoring the gift of gab and his mother returns home to
a happy ending.....................................................................................................................................
