The Kite Runner
Khaled Hosseini

Author Khaled Hosseini writes about the lives of two boys growing up together in Afghanistan in "The Kite Runner." Set in Kabul, it tells the stories of two very different young men; one the privileged son of a wealthy businessman, the other the son of that businessman's servant. The book explores the cultural and religious differences that divided the country and explains how the political and cultural landscape of the country has changed since then.

Khaled Hosseini is a physician living in Northern California. As the son of a diplomat, his family was granted political asylum and emigrated to the United States in 1980.
