Haroun and the Sea of Stories

Very enjoyable. Written for children in the best way–and therefore completely entertaining and thought-provoking for an adult. Well, for this adult at least. Rushdie adds his thinking about the nature of stories to our long philosophical conversation. If the questions, “What is ‘fiction' anyway?” and “What do stories have to do with real life?” intrigue you, spend a while with Haroun, his father Rashid, and all the friends they meet on the hidden moon.
