The Kite Runner follows the maturation of Amir, a male from

Afghanistan who needs to find his way in the world as he realizes that

his own belief system is not that of his dominant culture. As an adult,

Amir also needs a way to atone for a childhood indiscretion, when an

act of cowardice costs him more than just a friendship. Set in

Afghanistan and the United States, The Kite Runner is a bildungsroman

that illustrates the similarities as well as the differences between the two

countries and the two vastly different cultures. It is the story of both

fathers and sons and friends and brothers, and it is a novel about left

and wrong and the nature of evil. Published in 2003 to great critical

and popular acclaim, The Kite Runner is considered a contemporary

classic.
