Prism Interviews with Kite Runner author Khaled Hossieni

[Burgold]

I broke the piece into two parts. The first deals with his work as a UN special envoy on the Afghan refugee situation.

The second deals with the artistic process and the balance between art and advocacy.

By the way, if you like them feel free to let me know here or better yet on the cc website.

Fascinating insight into a nation we may always be intertwined with, in one way or another.

Thanks for the links.

[Burgold]

Thanks. It's an interesting subject and one which is surprisingly undercovered esp. considering how much we here about Afghanistan itself.

Very nice interview, cool that you got to meet him and spend time with him. He's a good writer and sounds like an interesting person.

[Burgold]

Yeah, he seemed pretty genuine and obviously cared very deeply about this subject. The UN did well in choosing him as an envoy. As a writer, I also just dug being able to talk creative philosophy with him.
