The first Afghan novel to be written in English,
The Kite Runner tells a sweeping story of family,
love, and friendship against a backdrop of history
that has not been told in fiction before,
bringing to mind the large canvases
of the Russian writers of the nineteenth century.
But just as it is old-fashioned in its narration,
it is contemporary in its subject-the devastating history
of Afghanistan over the last thirty years.
