The Kite Runner reads like a fable. The narrative has an old fashioned style, filled with clearly stated moral lessons that are repeated through out. The repetition reinforces their importance. Outside of the main protagonist, the characters are either virtuous or evil never muddled in a grey area. The themes: relationships between father and son, betrayal vs loyalty, honor, and redemption match its traditional narrative style. But, the thoroughly modern aspect of this novel comes from its relevant context and setting. Hosseini's tale weaves the reader through the last 30 years of Afghani history from a monarchy, to USSR occupation, to the Taliban. Through the eyes of a child to the reveries of a man, the novel is filled with memorable quotes ("For you a thousand times over"- Hassan) and heart-wrenchingly relateable experiences. As an American, and member of the 911 generation, this novel provides a needed perspective into the lives of the individual for a population that would have otherwise remained over stereotyped and generalized to me. It is an important novel for its insights, and a notably touching novel for its character development.
5/5- Amir and Hassan, the Sultans of Kabul, approved.
