		Haroun was ostensibly for his son and other young readers, but it was also a metaphorical statement of the ultimate triumph of the writer over forces that sought to silence him.
		Haroun's quest is similar to that of the writer who attempts to ward off the forces that try to annihilate him with the armoury of words.
		Haroun's decision to embark on a spying mission to the source of the Ocean of Stories is founded on a resolve that his father's world of stories should not be destroyed.

	Salman Rushdie
		The reader, moreover, becomes aware of the fact that all stories are "mosaics of quotations", as Julia Kristeva put it in her famous essay on Mikhail Bakhtin (1980) With the help of post-modern elements of narration Rushdie thus provides an insight into the workings of language and texts, fictional and otherwise.
		On one level, Haroun and the Sea of Stories can be read as Rushdie's defence of his novel and as his answer to the Ayatollah: The Satanic Verses consists of a "shaking up" of old stories, including what Rushdie called the "grand narrative" of Islam (1992: 432).
		Haroun, the boy, is in danger of being influenced by the obviously successful attitude of his father's adversary.

		Different parts of the Ocean contained different sorts of stories, and as all the stories that had ever been told and many that were still in the process of being invented could be found here, the Ocean of the Streams of Story was in fact the biggest library in the universe.
		Remember, "Haroun" was published in 1990 and even the lovely little dedication poem at the front of the book is a reference to the fact that Rushdie was unable to spend as much time with his son as he would have liked.
		Haroun thinks that such talk would be considered mutinous anywhere else, but is reminded that there is little point in being given freedom of speech without being allowed to use it.

		When Haroun's mother leaves for another man (who has no patience for "stories that aren't even true"), Rashid loses his storytelling ability and Haroun loses the ability to concentrate on anything for longer than eleven minutes.
		The story becomes more and more fantastic as it progresses, with Haroun and Rashid being swept off to Earth's secret second moon on a quest to save the Sea of Stories from being polluted to death by an army of mute shadow people.
		It is essentially a story about stories, and is filled with allegories, such as the army (also called a "library") of Pages, who must get their act together and work in concert to defeat the story-poisoning Chupwalas.

	Haroun and the Sea of Stories - Salman Rushdie/Adapted by Tim Supple and David Tushingham
		Written as a kind of long distance message to his then-young son, Haroun and the Sea of Stories is, not surprisingly, about political tyranny, the suppression of free speech and the love between a father and son.
		Haroun, with the aid of a Water Genie (David Kelly) flies to the scene on the back of a talkative Hoopoe Bird (Jerion Monroe) and many adventures ensue, including the rescue of a captive princess and a battle between the forces of darkness and light, story and anti-story.
		All of this is fanciful; much of it is funny, but the loveliest and most moving part is a kind of dream sequence wherein Haroun sees his parents, drowning in the Sea of Stories as they try to rescue fragments of the world’s great literature and hand them on to their son.

		Haroun’s first attempt to save the princess—permitted, in this dream sequence, to sing on pitch—goes awry as he turns into a spider, not unlike the louche Chups, followers of Khattam-Shud and enemies of the Gups.
		This proves that the Sea of Stories has been befouled, to which Bagha and Goopy, a pair of brilliant-hued fish (tenors Andrew Drost and Robert Mack in elaborate costumes), drooping from swimming through the muck, attest.

		The sea of stories is about to be poisoned by the enemy, Khattam- Shud, whose name actually means “The End.” Unlike the mouse father, whose despair results in part from his inability to make his son’s dreams come true, Haroun’s father finds himself trapped in despair over his own life.
		Haroun must confront the enemy and remove the split between light and darkness, between speech and silence, dividing the world he visits and troubling those he loves in his own world.
		In Haroun, we find place names that are letters of the alphabet (the Town of G, the Valley of K), which causes confusion for mail delivery.

	The Allegorical Defiance of Censorship in Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories
		Rushdie broke out of his slump in 1990 with Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990), a children's book written as a means of explaining his situation to his son, largely through the use of allegory.
		Rushdie's experiences with censorship appear in the novel under the guise of the Old Zone section of the Sea of Stories and the division between the Guppees and the Chupwalas.
		The Sea of Stories lies upon the second of the earth¹s moons, Kahani, which has been divided mechanically into two distinct hemispheres: "The Land of Gup is bathed in Endless Sunshine, while over in Chup it's always the middle of the night"(80).
