The Kite Runner
- The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini
- A dark, vivid, redeeming and forgiving first novel, The Kite Runner is a gem. Read before using this in class. While you may not choose to assign this for student reading, be sure to pick out passages to share. The imagery and language is beautiful yet haunting, foreshadowing yet hidden: “Baba and I lived in the same house, but in different spheres of existence. Kites were the one paper-thin slice of intersection between those spheres.” Great use of metaphors and similes as well as an excellent story.
