The Kite Runner is a book written as fiction and read as reality. Evidently partly based on fact, the fiction’s reality comes from its continuity with actual Afghan history, history which the book barely oversees and tends to only use selected aspects of; the book derails certain real events into other, minor, fictional storytelling events from the novel. To go further, the book possesses a very narrow-minded view of Afghan society, culture and Afghanistan in general. Finally, when put into context with the events occurring at the time of its publishment, it can be inferred that The Kite Runner seeks to use the emotions it produces with its plot to benefit the view of American action’s relating to Afghanistan; thus it can be concluded that The Kite Runner was written to be an accessible, entertaining and emotion-producing ‘best-seller’ propaganda. It may be argued that the Kite Runner does not serve the purpose of a political propaganda due to the fact that it doesn’t refer to American Intervention positively; however, whilst the book doesn’t explicitly refer to the act as a positive thing, it implicitly justifies it and promotes it with the representations it makes. To start, the book implicitly feigns to represent the story of the entirety of Afghanistan, as seen when the main character, Amir, refers in several occasions to his experiences in Kabul as representations of Afghanistan as a whole, for example, in the following citation Amir references how his view of Afghanistan is represented by Hassan when Hassan clearly represents a minority in the country (ethnological and morally speaking); “[] to me, the face of Afghanistan is that of a boy with a thin-boned frame, a shaved head, and low-set ears, a boy with a Chinese doll face perpetually lit by a harelipped smile.” [1]. While most Afghans do live in Kabul, Kabul clearly doesn’t represent Afghanistan as a whole; implying the opposite is narrow-minded and it shows clear generalization. Places in Afghanistan apart from Kabul are barely mentioned throughout the story, and when they are mentioned they are usually Amir’s afterthoughts of his childhood as a grown man. The book deviates from important political events such as the Russian occupation of Afghanistan, the Taliban overthrow of the Russians and the American Intervention in Afghanistan after 9/11 with important story-telling events from the story. While all of these events have an important part in the formation of the story’s plot, they are very underwhelmingly explained without the set of a proper background on either of them and more importantly, no details that can ‘incriminate’ America’s morality are explained; the only exception being American intervention which is very briefly described making it very easy to overlook. The most controversial issues regarding the US such as the mujaheddin and the American-introduced Afghan warlorlds are never mentioned in the novel. Secondly, the book shows a very reclusive view of Afghanistan in general; culturally, the book usually depicts Afghan culture in acts su
