&quot;Sitka Display&quot;">The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseini^s deeply moving fiction
debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting
exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the
early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amir^s closest friend even though the loyal
11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amir^s
father^s servant and a member of Afghanistan^s despised Hazara minority. But in
1975, on the day of Kabul^s annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable
happened between the two boys.</span></p>
