    About The Kite Runner

    In The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini tells the story of the friendship between a privileged young boy, Amir, and his poor servant, Hassan, in Kabul in the 1970s. The two boys' innocence is shattered one day and their friendship forever changes because of a random act of brutality against Hassan. As the boys grow apart and start their own lives, "The Kite Runner follows the transformation of Afghanistan from a peaceful and isolated country to a living hell. Even as Amir has immigrated to America and thinks that he has left his old life behind, a call one day brings him back home to confront his past.

    "The Kite Runner" is Khaled Hosseini's first published novel. Born in Kabul, Afghanistan to a diplomat father, Hosseini and his family received political asylum and immigrated to the United States in 1980. Hosseini was a physician living in northern California at the time"The Kite Runner" was published. Hosseini's childhood memories of pre-Soviet Afghanistan, his own brief friendship with a Hazara servant and his family's immigrant experience in the United States inspired him to write the novel.
