Product Description
In a sad city, the saddest of cities, a city so ruinously sad that it had forgotten its name, a professional storyteller named Rashid lives with his son, Haroun.
Rashid is the Shah of Blah, with oceans of notions and the Gift of the Gab. Ask the Shah of Blah for a story and you won’t get any old story. Nor will you get just one. You’ll get many stories, hundreds of stories, funny and sad stories, all of them juggled at once, complete with bits of sorcery and bits of love, princesses, wicket uncles and fat aunts, moustachioed gangsters in yellow-checked pants and half a dozen catchy tunes.
But one day when the Shah of Blah opens his mouth, no story comes out: only a terrible squawking sound. One day, things—many things—go terribly wrong....
Haroun and the Sea of Stories is an adventure novel, the story of Rashid and Haroun, of a father and a son, and of the son's attempt to rescue his father and return to him his Gift of Gab. It has a mad bus driver named Butt and a water genie named Iff. It has the wonderful city of Gup (where it is always light) and the terrible land of Chup (where it is always dark). And, perhaps most important, it has P2C2E: Processes Too Complicated To Explain.
