Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan and moved to the
United States in 1980. His first novel, The Kite Runner,
was an international bestseller, published in thirty-four
countries. In
2006 he was named a US goodwill envoy to the United Nations
Refugee
Agency. He lives in northern California.
‘Hosseini's ability to reach the core of
experiences of love and loss places him in the company of such fine
chroniclers of the new America as Chang-rae Lee. The Kite Runner is
a first novel of unusual generosity, honesty and compassion'
*Independent*
‘The shattering first novel by Khaled Hosseini... a rich and
soul-searching narrative ... a sharp, unforgettable taste of the
trauma and tumult experienced by Afghanis as their country
buckled'
*Observer*
‘A devastating, masterful and painfully honest story ... it is a
novel of great hidden intricacy and wisdom, like a timeless Eastern
tale. It speaks the most harrowing truth about the power of
evil'
*Daily Telegraph*
'Unforgettable ... extraordinary. It is so powerful that for a long
time after everything I read seemed bland'
*Isabel Allende*
