Haroun's father runs out of stories to tell. Haroun is determined to return the storyteller's gift to his father.

Immediately forget any preconceptions you may have about Salman Rushdie and the controversy that has swirled around his million-dollar head. You should instead know that he is one of the best contemporary writers of fables and parables, from any culture.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a delightful tale about a storyteller who loses his skill and a struggle against mysterious forces attempting to block the seas of inspiration from which all stories are derived. Here's a representative passage about the sources and power of inspiration: So Iff the water genie told Haroun about the Ocean of the Stream of Stories, and even though he was full of a sense of hopelessness and failure the magic of the Ocean began to have an effect on Haroun.

He looked into the water and saw that it was made up of a thousand thousand thousand and one different currents, each one a different colour, weaving in and out of one another like a liquid tapestry of breathtaking complexity; and Iff explained that these were the Streams of Story, that each coloured strand represented and contained a single tale. 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.

And because the stories were held here in fluid form, they retained the ability to change, to become new versions of themselves, to join up with other stories and so become yet other stories; so that unlike a library of books, the Ocean of the Streams of Story was much more than a storeroom of yarns. It was not dead, but alive.

"And if you are very, very careful, or very, very highly skilled, you can dip a cup into the Ocean," Iff told Haroun, "like so," and here he produced a little golden cup from another of his waistcoat pockets, "and you can fill it with water from a single, pure Stream of Story, like so," as he did precisely that (less)

Excerpt: ST. BRIGID'S FLOOD.

Four or five men were gathered together that evening in Forsyth's rooms, talking the usual talk of anglers when they congregate -- flies, bait, good days, bad days, droughts, and floods. Forsyth was just expressing his preference for the extreme type of flood river.

" A regular mountain stream, you know -- no lake on it, no feeders to speak of, but just the scourings of the hills. When it comes down there's no need to bother about waiting till it clears; you watch till it stops rising, and then fish at once; and some time or other when you're on the water you're pretty sure to hit the psychological moment.

" " Yes; but how long does it last ? " put in Legge. "Oh, an hour, two hours, six hours.

But it's amusing, anyhow, to watch the water changing; it keeps up the interest -- it's dramatic. I've seen a stream at Carrick get up five feet in the night and go down to where it was in the forenoon.

" " If you come to that," said Grayson, knocking his pipe on the mantelpiece, " I've seen a flood get up five feet in five minutes." Grayson was a man none of us had seen before.

Forsyth had picked him up somewhere in Ireland. So, although what he said sounded pretty steep, none of us protested.

"You mean a tide wave," Legge suggested politely. "Not in the least; just a flood out of the mountains like what Forsyth talks of.

And if you like them dramatic, Forsyth, you'd have had your heart's content that time." "Well," said Forsyth, "I know they get the devil's own floods in the West of Ireland; but (less)

Since his death in 1954 at the age of forty-eight, his stature has grown on the strength of his narrative art, which is both realistic and whimsical with a poetic touch. Suha Oğ uzertem, a premier authority on Turkish fiction, writes in his introduction to Sleeping in the Forest that "As an anti-bourgeois writer and fierce democrat, Sait Faik has always sided with the underdog" and that no characters remain" 'common' or 'ordinary' once they enter Sait Faik's stories; his piercing gaze and thoughtful vision transform them lovingly into unique beings.

" Sait Faik's fiction ranges from the realistic to the surrealistic, from the romantic to the modern, from the cynical to the compassionate. With virtuosic skill, he captures the spirit and the spleen of the city of Istanbul and its environs.

In evoking the mystery of that great metropolis through such ordinary characters as Armenian fishermen, Greek Orthodox priests, and the disillusioned and disfranchised, he creates for us a marvelous microcosm of tragicomedy. Few writers, in Turkey or else-where, command Sait Faik's mastery of the ironic.

Sleeping in the Forest features twenty-two stories, an excerpt from a novella, and fifteen poems rendered into English by some of the best-known translators of Turkish literature. Sait Faik's chiaroscuro world is brought into focus by an introductory essay on utopian poetics and lyrical stylistics of this great Turkish writer.

The book is a stimulating exploration into Turkish mood and milieu. Sait Faik has contributed to Sleeping in the Forest: Stories and Poems as an author.
