Title of the paper :
Reading the Other in Khaled Hosseinis The Kite Runner: A Cultural Perspective
Abstract:
Literature expresses culture, tradition of ones country and their people through art of writing. Khaled Hosseinis The Kite Runner portrays the Afghanistan political and cultural collapse. Afghanistan has suffered in vicious hands of civil war and foreign invasions in form of 1979 Soviet invasion and 2001 U.S invasions. These political and historical impermanence cost Afghanistan cultural and ideological misconception by the west. Afghanistan was delineated as a home land of terrorists, barbaric and cultureless people by the western writers. Hosseini tries to manipulate their perceptions in his debut novel through a tumultuous portrayal of culture, ethnicity, religion and society within a historical context. This paper attempts to analyse the novels orientalist aspects, characters and portrayal of extremism. It mainly focuses on how as New-Orientalist narrative could influence the western public understanding of Afghanistan culture and people.
