Overview

The Kite Runner is set in modern Afghanistan and America. The plot centers on Amir’s problem of self-definition, a universal problem. His struggle throughout the novel for self-understanding and acceptance is the timeless journey of a hero and parallels the epic quest for home. In a sense, Amir’s inner conflict mirrors Afghanistan’s conflict; both struggle with finding an identity amidst rampant social unrest and pressures from outside sources.
