But what it can say, or rather communicate, is that the world is beautiful.Īnd this is what my review of this graphic adaption will say. It can not say a lot, bar his limited sounds. Opening this book felt like what it must feel for a blind animal to see for the first time.

Not needed even if you have not read the book.īut thou shalt know that if you have not read this work,Ī part of your heart is locked away which disentangles itself free somewhere within these pages. The artwork draws you over and though there are words : they are superfluous. No book has left a deeper mark in my soul in the last decade as this one. Imagine reading braille your entire life and being able to read the words that you "touched", or to say they touched you. Their frolicking is captured by the realms of creativity that even an illiterate can read. The bond of friendship between the two young people now develops magically in form of colors and sketches in front of your eyes. Now putting together the brilliant work of the author along with the picturesque drawings of this book - casts a spell over you. The sorrow and the warmth of the closing pages should and would be as much a part of your consciousness as it is mine. I can bet you all the money that I have ever had that the imagery of Khaled Hosseini's debut work would not have deserted your soul. He lives in Northern California with his wife, Roya, and their two children (Harris and Farah).Ĭomes a graphic version of the story that still haunts my dreams. The concept for the foundation was inspired by the trip to Afghanistan that Hosseini made in 2007 with UNHCR. He has been working to provide humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan through the Khaled Hosseini Foundation. Hosseini is currently a Goodwill Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). He practiced medicine for over ten years, until a year and a half after the release of The Kite Runner. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in 1996. The following year, he entered the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, where he earned his M.D. Hosseini graduated from Independence High School in San Jose in 1984 and enrolled at Santa Clara University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in biology in 1988. Instead, a year after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, in 1980 they sought political asylum in the United States and made their residence in San Jose, California. They were unable to return to Afghanistan because of the Saur Revolution in which the PDPA communist party seized power through a bloody coup in April 1978. In 1976, when Hosseini was 11 years old, Hosseini's father obtained a job in Paris, France, and moved the family there. In 1973 Hosseini's family returned to Kabul, and Hosseini's youngest brother was born in July of that year. In 1970 Hosseini and his family moved to Iran where his father worked for the Embassy of Afghanistan in Tehran. Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1965.
