Inspired by a book his grandfather wrote eighty years ago, master storyteller and author Tahir Shah set about creating Scorpion Soup, an intense experience of interlinked and overlapping tales.
Having been raised on stories from both East and West, Shah believes that tales work on numerous levels, subtly influencing the way we see the world, and the way we learn from it. Magical instruments, and secret machineries in their own right, stories live within us all. And, the way we appreciate them from the cradle is, Shah believes, part of the default setting of Mankind.
Introduced in early childhood to the wonders of A Thousand and One Nights, Shah learned to receive and appreciate complex structures and storytelling devices. These have been used throughout history to pass on ideas, cultural values and information, as well as, of course, to entertain.
Having been inspired by The Nights, and the way that one story leads into another, and yet another, Shah uses this framing technique in Scorpion Soup.
An interwoven and intoxicating collection of tales, the book descends down through many layers, as one story progresses into the next, and eventually brings us back to the first.
Unlike anything that has been published in the Occidental world before, Scorpion Soup is a rich and diverse feast for the senses, a book that instructs as much as it does entertain.
