I think the changes that have happened, there have been come positive, but by and large, you have to say the changes have been negative. The situation has reached a fairly critical stage in Afghanistan.
Khaled Hosseini
A great deal remains to be done in Afghanistan and the jury is out as to whether the international community has the commitment and the patience to see the rebuilding process through.
Khaled Hosseini
I came to the US as an immigrant and I recall vividly those first few years in California, the brief time we spent on welfare, and the difficult task of assimilating into a new culture.
Khaled Hosseini
Yes, hope is a strange thing. Peace at last. But at what price?
Khaled Hosseini
There are, however, those who have called the book [The Kite Runner] divisive and objected to some of the issues raised in the book, namely racism, discrimination, ethnic inequality etc.
Khaled Hosseini
At the time we are focusing our efforts primarily on building shelters for refugees. Homelessness in Afghanistan is a huge problem.
Khaled Hosseini
Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.
