------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bryn Mawr Book Club On Tuesday, June 5, the Book Club will discuss Haroun and the Sea Stories by Salman Rushdie. Edited excerpt of review by Thomas Kullmann on webdoc.sub.gwdg.de: Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Salman Rushdie's book, adored by children and adults alike, alludes to two outstanding Eastern collections of stories: the Indian Kathasaritsagara and the Arabian Nights who feature the famous caliph Haroun al Rashid. In this book, Haroun is the son of Rashid Khalifa, a famous story-teller, who loses his powers of story-telling when his wife leaves him for Mr Sengupta, a town clerk who hates fictional stories. Haroun accompanies his father to the beautiful Dull Lake which closely resembles the Dal Lake in Kashmir. Having taken residence on one of this lake's famous tourist house boats, called Arabian Nights Plus One, Haroun embarks on a quest to recover his father's lost powers of story-telling.

Lecturer in Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government,
Harvard University, has been focused on making government actually work
longer than anyone else. In just one period of her extensive and
accomplished career in public policy, she joined the Clinton/Gore
Administration in March of 1993 and worked directly with Vice President
Gore to create the National Performance Review, a White House policy
council dedicated to reinventing government, streamlining intention and
delivery so that benefits are actually delivered and goals actually
met.
