The Kite Runner is the showtime novel past Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini.[1] Published in 2003 by Riverhead Books, information technology tells the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the autumn of Afghanistan's monarchy through the Soviet invasion, the exodus of refugees to Islamic republic of pakistan and the United states, and the ascension of the Taliban regime.

Hosseini has commented that he considers The Kite Runner to exist a father-son relationship story, emphasizing the familial aspects of the narrative, an element that he continued to use in his subsequently works.[ii] Themes of guilt and redemption feature prominently in the novel,[3] with a pivotal scene depicting an act of sexual assault that happens against Hassan, Amir's friend, that Amir fails to prevent, which leads to the end of their friendship. The latter half of the book centers on Amir's attempts to atone for this transgression by rescuing Hassan'due south son two decades subsequently.

The Kite Runner became a bestseller afterward being printed in paperback and was popularized in book clubs. It appeared on the New York Times bestseller listing for over two years,[4] with over 7 million copies sold in the United States.[five] Reviews were generally positive, though parts of the plot drew meaning controversy in Transitional islamic state of afghanistan. A number of adaptations were created following publication, including a 2007 movie of the same proper name, several phase performances, and a graphic novel. The novel is besides bachelor in a multi-CD audiobook read by the author.

Limerick and publication [edit]

Khaled Hosseini worked as a medical internist at Kaiser Hospital in Mountain View, California for several years before publishing The Kite Runner.[3] [6] [7] In 1999, Hosseini learned through a news written report that the Taliban had banned kite flying in Afghanistan,[8] a brake he found specially cruel.[nine] The news "struck a personal chord" for him, equally he had grown upwards with the sport while living in Afghanistan. He was motivated to write a 25-page short story nigh two boys who fly kites in Kabul.[8] Hosseini submitted copies to Esquire and The New Yorker, both of which rejected information technology.[9] He rediscovered the manuscript in his garage in March 2001 and began to expand it to novel format at the suggestion of a friend.[8] [9] According to Hosseini, the narrative became "much darker" than he originally intended.[8] His editor, Cindy Spiegel, "helped him rework the last third of his manuscript", something she describes equally relatively common for a beginning novel.[9]

Every bit with Hosseini'due south subsequent novels, The Kite Runner covers a multigenerational menstruation and focuses on the human relationship between parents and their children.[2] The latter was unintentional; Hosseini developed an interest in the theme while in the procedure of writing.[2] He afterwards divulged that he frequently came up with pieces of the plot by cartoon pictures of it.[7] For example, he did not make up one's mind to brand Amir and Hassan brothers until subsequently he had "doodled information technology".[7]

Like Amir, the protagonist of the novel, Hosseini was built-in in Afghanistan and left the state equally a youth, not returning until 2003.[10] Thus, he was frequently questioned about the extent of the autobiographical aspects of the book.[9] In response, he said, "When I say some of information technology is me, so people look unsatisfied. The parallels are pretty obvious, merely ... I left a few things ambiguous considering I wanted to drive the book clubs crazy."[ix] Having left the state around the time of the Soviet invasion, he felt a certain amount of survivor's guilt: "Whenever I read stories about Transitional islamic state of afghanistan my reaction was ever tinged with guilt. A lot of my childhood friends had a very hard time. Some of our cousins died. 1 died in a fuel truck trying to escape Transitional islamic state of afghanistan [an incident that Hosseini fictionalizes in The Kite Runner]. Talk about guilt. He was one of the kids I grew upward with flying kites. His father was shot."[two] [11] Regardless, he maintains that the plot is fictional.[eight] Subsequently, when writing his second novel, A K Fantabulous Suns (so titled Dreaming in Titanic City), Hosseini remarked that he was happy that the main characters were women as information technology "should put the cease to the autobiographical question once and for all."[nine]

Riverhead Books published The Kite Runner, ordering an initial press of 50,000 copies in hardback.[9] [12] It was released on May 29, 2003, and the paperback edition was released a year later.[9] [13] Hosseini took a twelvemonth-long absence from practicing medicine to promote the book, signing copies, speaking at diverse events, and raising funds for Afghan causes.[9] Originally published in English, The Kite Runner was later translated into 42 languages for publication in 38 countries.[14] In 2013, Riverhead released the 10th anniversary edition with a new gold-rimmed embrace and a foreword by Hosseini.[15] That same year, on May 21, Khaled Hosseini published another book called And the Mountains Echoed.

Plot summary [edit]

Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood in Kabul, setting of Function I

Amir, a well-to-do Pashtun boy, and Hassan, a Hazara boy who is the son of Ali, Amir's father'southward servant, spend their days kite fighting in the hitherto peaceful city of Kabul. Flying kites was a style to escape the horrific reality the 2 boys were living in. Hassan is a successful "kite runner" for Amir; he knows where the kite will land without watching it. Both boys are motherless: Amir's mother died in childbirth, while Hassan'due south mother, Sanaubar, only abased him and Ali. Amir's male parent, a wealthy merchant Amir affectionately refers to as Baba, loves both boys. He makes a point of buying Hassan exactly the same things as Amir, to Amir'south annoyance. He even pays to have Hassan's scissure lip surgically corrected. On the other hand, Baba is often disquisitional of Amir, considering him weak and defective in courage, even threatening to physically punish him when he complains virtually Hassan. Amir finds a kinder fatherly effigy in Rahim Khan, Baba'south closest friend, who understands him and supports his interest in writing, whereas Baba considers that interest to be worthy only of females. In a rare moment, when Amir is sitting on Baba'due south lap rather than beingness shooed away as a bother, he asks why his father drinks alcohol which is forbidden by Islam. Baba tells him that the Mullahs are hypocrites and the only real sin is theft which takes many forms.

Assef, an older boy with a sadistic taste for violence, mocks Amir for socializing with an Hazara which, according to him, is an inferior race whose members belong only in Hazarajat. Assef is himself merely half Pashtun, having a German mother and a typical blond-haired bluish-eyed German appearance. One mean solar day, he prepares to attack Amir with brass duke, just Hassan defends Amir, threatening to shoot out Assef's eye with his slingshot. Assef backs off simply swears to accept revenge one day.

Hassan refuses to give up the kite, and Assef severely beats him and rapes him. Amir witnesses the deed but is too scared to intervene. He knows that if he fails to bring home the kite, Baba would be less proud of him. He feels incredibly guilty merely knows his cowardice would destroy any hopes for Baba's affections, so he keeps quiet nigh the incident. Afterwards, Amir keeps distant from Hassan; his feelings of guilt prevent him from interacting with the boy. Hassan'southward mental and physical well-being begin to deteriorate.

Amir begins to believe that life would exist easier if Hassan were not around, and then he plants a scout and some coin under Hassan's mattress in the hope that Baba will make him exit; Hassan falsely confesses when confronted by Baba. Although Baba believes "there is no act more than wretched than stealing", he forgives him. To Baba's sorrow, Hassan and Ali leave anyway, because Hassan has told Ali what happened to him. Amir is freed of the daily reminder of his cowardice and expose, only he still lives in their shadow.

Before long thereafter Baba dies. Amir and Soraya settle down in a happy union, but to their sorrow, they larn that they cannot have children.

Amir embarks on a successful career equally a novelist. Fifteen years after his wedding, Amir receives a call from his father'southward best friend (and his childhood father effigy) Rahim Khan. Khan, who is dying, asks Amir to visit him in Peshawar. He enigmatically tells Amir, "At that place is a way to exist good again."

Part III [edit]

From Rahim Khan, Amir learns that Hassan and Ali are both dead. Ali was killed past a country mine. Hassan and his wife were killed later on Hassan refused to permit the Taliban to confiscate Baba and Amir's firm in Kabul. Rahim Khan further reveals that Ali was sterile and was not Hassan's biological father. Hassan was actually the son of Sanaubar and Baba, making him Amir's one-half brother. Finally, Khan tells Amir that the reason he has called Amir to Pakistan is to inquire him to rescue Hassan'south son, Sohrab, from an orphanage in Kabul.

Amir searches for Sohrab, accompanied by Farid, an Afghan taxi driver and veteran of the war with the Soviets. They acquire that a Taliban official comes to the orphanage ofttimes, brings cash, and usually takes a girl away with him. Occasionally he chooses a boy, recently Sohrab. The orphanage director tells Amir how to find the official, and Farid secures an appointment at his habitation past claiming to have "personal business" with him.

Themes [edit]

Because its themes of friendship, betrayal, guilt, redemption and the uneasy dear betwixt fathers and sons are universal, and not specifically Afghan, the book has been able to reach across cultural, racial, religious and gender gaps to resonate with readers of varying backgrounds.

—Khaled Hosseini, 2005[3]

Khaled Hosseini identifies a number of themes that appear in The Kite Runner, but reviewers have focused on guilt and redemption.[nine] [11] [19] As a child, Amir fails to salve Hassan in an human action of cowardice and later suffers from an all-consuming guilt. Fifty-fifty after leaving the state, moving to America, marrying, and becoming a successful writer, he is unable to forget the incident. Hassan is "the all-sacrificing Christ-figure, the one who, fifty-fifty in decease, calls Amir to redemption".[19] Following Hassan'due south expiry at the hands of the Taliban, Amir begins to redeem himself through the rescue of Hassan's son, Sohrab.[twenty] Hosseini draws parallels during the search for Sohrab to create an impression of poetic justice; for example, Amir sustains a split lip later on being severely browbeaten, similar to Hassan's harelip.[xx] Despite this, some critics questioned whether the protagonist had fully redeemed himself.[21]

Amir's motivation for the childhood betrayal is rooted in his insecurities regarding his relationship with his father.[22] The relationship between parents and their children features prominently in the novel, and in an interview, Hosseini elaborated:

Both [The Kite Runner and A Chiliad Splendid Suns] are multigenerational, and then the relationship between parent and kid, with all of its manifest complexities and contradictions, is a prominent theme. I did non intend this, but I am keenly interested, it appears, in the way parents and children love, disappoint, and in the terminate laurels each other. In one fashion, the two novels are corollaries: The Kite Runner was a male parent-son story, and A Yard Fantabulous Suns can be seen as a mother-daughter story.[2]

When adapting The Kite Runner for the theatre, Director Eric Rose stated that he was drawn into the narrative by the "themes of betraying your all-time friend for the beloved of your father", which he compared to Shakespearean literature.[23] Throughout the story, Amir craves his begetter's affection;[22] his father, in plough, loves Amir but favors Hassan,[20] going equally far as to pay for plastic surgery to repair the latter'south cleft lip.[24]

Critical reception [edit]

Beginning Lady Laura Bush with Khaled Hosseini (start and 2nd to the left); Bush praised The Kite Runner as "really great".[25]

In the first two years following its publication, over 70,000 hardback copies of The Kite Runner were sold along with 1,250,000 paperback copies.[3] Though the book sold well in hardback, "Kite Runner'southward popularity didn't actually begin to soar until [2004] when the paperback edition came out, which is when book clubs began picking it up."[9] It started appearing on best seller lists in September 2004 and became a New York Times bestseller in March 2005,[iii] maintaining its identify on the listing for 2 years.[4] By the publication of Khaled Hosseini's tertiary novel in 2013, over seven million copies had been sold in the U.s..[5] The book received the Southward African Boeke Prize in 2004. It was voted the Reading Grouping Volume of the Year for 2006 and 2007 and headed a listing of sixty titles submitted by entrants to the Penguin/Orangish Reading Grouping prize (U.k.).[26] [27]

Critically, the book was well-received, albeit controversial. Erika Milvy from Salon praised it as "beautifully written, startling and heart wrenching".[28] Tony Sims from Wired Mag wrote that the book "reveals the beauty and desperation of a tormented nation as it tells the story of an improbable friendship betwixt 2 boys from opposite ends of gild, and of the troubled merely enduring human relationship between a begetter and a son".[29] Amelia Hill of The Observer opined, "The Kite Runner is the shattering kickoff novel past Khaled Hosseini" that "is simultaneously devastating and inspiring."[22] A similarly favourable review was printed in Publishers Weekly.[thirteen] Marketing manager Melissa Mytinger remarked, "It's merely an fantabulous story. Much of information technology based in a globe we don't know, a world we're barely beginning to know. Well-written, published at the 'correct time' by an author who is both charming and thoughtful in his personal appearances for the book."[3] Indian-American actor Aasif Mandvi agreed that the book was "astonishing storytelling. ... It'due south about human beings. It's well-nigh redemption, and redemption is a powerful theme."[9] First Lady Laura Bush commended the story as "really bang-up".[25] Said Tayeb Jawad, the 19th Afghan ambassador to the United States, publicly endorsed The Kite Runner, maxim that the volume would assistance the American public to meliorate empathise Afghan club and civilization.[9]

Edward Hower from The New York Times analyzed the portrayal of Afghanistan before and after the Taliban:

Hosseini's depiction of pre-revolutionary Afghanistan is rich in warmth and sense of humor but also tense with the friction between the nation'south different ethnic groups. Amir'south father, or Baba, personifies all that is reckless, mettlesome and big-headed in his dominant Pashtun tribe ... The novel'south canvas turns night when Hosseini describes the suffering of his land under the tyranny of the Taliban, whom Amir encounters when he finally returns home, hoping to help Hassan and his family. The final 3rd of the book is full of haunting images: a human, drastic to feed his children, trying to sell his artificial leg in the market; an cheating couple stoned to expiry in a stadium during the halftime of a football game friction match; a rouged young boy forced into prostitution, dancing the sort of steps once performed by an organ grinder'southward monkey.[24]

Meghan O'Rouke, Slate Magazine's culture critic and advisory editor, ultimately found The Kite Runner mediocre, writing that "this is a novel simultaneously striving to deliver a big-scale informative portrait and to stage a small-scale redemptive drama, only its therapeutic apologue of recovery can only undermine its realist ambitions. People experience their lives against the backdrop of their civilization, and while Hosseini wisely steers clear of only exoticizing Transitional islamic state of afghanistan as a monolithically foreign place, he does so much work to make his novel emotionally accessible to the American reader that at that place is almost no room, in the end, for us to consider for long what might differentiate Afghans and Americans."[25] Sarah Smith from The Guardian idea the novel started out well but began to falter towards the end. She felt that Hosseini was likewise focused on fully redeeming the protagonist in Part III and in doing so created too many unrealistic coincidences that immune Amir the opportunity to undo his past wrongs.[xx]

Controversies [edit]

The American Library Association reported that The Kite Runner was i of its most-challenged books of 2008, with multiple attempts to remove it from libraries due to its "offensive language, sexually explicit [content], and unsuit[ability for] historic period grouping."[30] Afghan American readers were particularly critical towards the depiction of Pashtuns as oppressors and Hazaras equally the oppressed.[eleven] Hosseini responded in an interview, "They never say I am speaking about things that are untrue. Their beefiness is, 'Why practise you have to talk about these things and embarrass us? Don't you lot love your country?'"[11] Afghan-Australian journalist Emran Feroz, however, criticized the novel for oversimplifying indigenous relations in Afghanistan and portraying Pashtuns in general in an overly negative lite. Feroz further expressed concern that works by Hosseini, who was raised in a culturally Tajik context rather than Pashtun, would prevent western readers from developing a more nuanced view of Transitional islamic state of afghanistan.[31]

The motion-picture show generated more than controversy through the xxx-2d rape scene, with threats made against the child actors, who originated from Afghanistan.[28] Zekeria Ebrahimi, the 12-year-old actor who portrayed Amir, had to exist removed from school after his Hazara classmates threatened to kill him,[32] and Paramount Pictures was eventually forced to relocate 3 of the children to the United Arab Emirates.[28] Afghanistan's Ministry of Culture banned the film from distribution in cinemas or DVD stores, citing the possibility that the picture show's ethnically charged rape scene could incite racial violence within Afghanistan.[33]

Adaptations [edit]

Film [edit]

4 years later its publication, The Kite Runner was adapted as a movement moving picture starring Khalid Abdalla every bit Amir, Homayoun Ershadi as Baba, and Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada as Hassan. It was initially scheduled to premiere in Nov 2007, but the release date was pushed back 6 weeks to evacuate the Afghan child stars from the country afterward they received death threats.[34] Directed by Marc Forster and with a screenplay past David Benioff, the moving-picture show won numerous awards and was nominated for an Academy Award, the BAFTA Film Accolade, and the Critics Choice Honour in 2008.[35] While reviews were generally positive, with Entertainment Weekly deeming the final product "pretty adept",[36] the delineation of indigenous tensions and the controversial rape scene drew outrage in Afghanistan.[34] Hangama Anwari, the kid rights commissioner for the Afghanistan Independent Homo Rights Commission, commented, "They should not play around with the lives and security of people. The Hazara people will have it as an insult."[34]

Hosseini was surprised by the extent of the controversy caused past the rape scene and said that Afghan actors would non have been cast had studios known that their lives would be threatened.[28] He believed that the scene was necessary to "maintain the integrity" of the story, as a physical assault past itself would not take affected the audience as much.[28]

Other [edit]

The novel was first adapted to the stage in March 2007 by Bay Surface area playwright Matthew Spangler where it was performed at San Jose State Academy.[37] Two years later, David Ira Goldstein, artistic director of Arizona Theater Visitor, organized for it to be performed at San Jose Repertory Theatre. The play was produced at Arizona Theatre Company in 2009, Actor'south Theatre of Louisville and Cleveland Play House in 2010, and The New Repertory Theatre of Watertown, Massachusetts in 2012. The theatre adaption premiered in Canada as a co-production between Theatre Calgary and the Citadel Theatre in January 2013. In April 2013, the play premiered in Europe at the Nottingham Playhouse, with Ben Turner interim in the pb role.[38]

Hosseini was approached by Piemme, his Italian publisher, about adapting The Kite Runner to a graphic novel in 2011. Having been "a fan of comic books since childhood", he was open up to the thought, believing that The Kite Runner was a adept candidate to be presented in a visual format.[29] Fabio Celoni provided the illustrations for the projection and regularly updated Hosseini on his progress before its release in September of that year.[29] The latter was pleased with the final production and said, "I believe Fabio Celoni's piece of work vividly brings to life non only the mountains, the bazaars, the urban center of Kabul and its kite-dotted skies, but also the many struggles, conflicts, and emotional highs and lows of Amir's journey."[29]
