Khaled Hosseini
Hosseini was briefly a resident of Iran and France after being born in Kabul, Afghanistan, to a
diplomat father. Hosseini's family requested refuge in the US when he was 15 years old, and he
subsequently obtained US citizenship. Hosseini, like the main character in The Kite Runner, did not
return to Afghanistan until he was 38 years old in 2003.
Hosseini studied a great deal of Persian poetry as a child, particularly poetry by authors like
Hafez, Omar Khayyám, Abdul-Qādir Bēdil, and Rumi. Along with translations of books like Alice in
Wonderland and Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer series, he has also named a Persian translation of
Jack London's White Fang as a major influence from his early years.
