"An epic tale of fathers and sons, of friendship and betrayal, that takes us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the atrocities of the present. The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption, and it is also about the power of fathers over sons-their love, their sacrifices, their lies."
"Khaled Hosseini discussed his novel The Kite Runner, published by Riverhead. It is the story of an Afghani man who came to America but remained haunted by memories from his childhood in Kabul. Mr. Hosseini wrote about the lives of two boys growing up together in Kabul; one the privileged son of a wealthy businessman, the other the son of that businessman's servant. The book explored the cultural and religious differences that divided the country and explained how the political and cultural landscape of the country has changed since then. Mr. Hosseini talked about his life experiences and how they affected the writing of his books. He also responded to questions and comments submitted by members of the audience."
"An Afghan in California recalls a fateful 1975 day in Kabul that seared his soul at age twelve--the day he won a kite tournament and abandoned a younger companion to rape. That cowardice keeps haunting him during exile in America until the opportunity for atonement arises--back in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Violence and some strong language."@en
