An interview with Khaled Hosseini, done by a Mr. James Mustich, Editor-in-Chief, Barnes & Noble Review. The whole interview is a 9 page textual document so i am highlighting the main points of it in this post.
-The first thing it reveals is a quick bio of hosseini: "Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1965. At the age of 11, he moved to Paris with his family as a result of his father's diplomatic posting to the French capital by the Afghan Foreign Service. Four years later, unable to return home because of the Soviet invasion, the Hosseini family was granted political asylum in the United States and moved to San Jose, California, where the future author pursued his high school education. He subsequently enrolled in Santa Clara University, earning a Biology degree before attending the University of California at San Diego's School of Medicine. He spent seven years as a practicing internist before the publication of his first novel, The Kite Runner, in 2003."
-Then they go on talking about how he was influenced by the storytelling was of afghan in his story's and his other literary influences in his household such as poetry and his family.
