About The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner was first published in America in 2003. It tells the story of Amir, a 10-year-old Afghan boy who lives through many key events in Afghan history. Through the eyes of a child, Hosseini examines the situation in his native country under Russian rule.
The Kite Runner has a large amount of autobiographical elements to it, although the author has never divulged to what extent the events described in the book are based on reality. Although the novelwas met with a great deal of enthusiasm in the USA, it unsurprisingly drew a significant amount of criticism in Hosseini’s native Afghanistan.
About Khaled Hosseini
Khaled Hosseini is an American writer. He was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, but left when he was still a child to go to Paris, after which his family moved to America, since they had no desire to return home while their country was under Russian rule. When he arrived in the USA, he did not speak a word of English. Although Hosseini is known as a writer, he studied biology and medicine, and is actually a practising doctor. His novels are all partly set in Afghanistan, and provide compelling illustrations of the effects of large-scale conflict and international politics on individual lives. He currently lives in Northern California with his wife and their two children.
