Question

what are the allusions in The Kite Runner????????? and What are the historical/political/social context of The Kite Runner???????

Answer 1

The Kite Runner takes place in pre-Taliban Afghanistan, the USA, post-Taliban Afghanistan and in Pakistan, so the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan is an important historical, political and social event in the novel.  

Here are some links that should help you.  Also look for it at the site for Oprah’s book club.  I believe it was discussed there.
