Title: Afghanistan Story UNCUT
Review: I knew first about the film, then the book. I Regret I did not read this book sooner. Khaled captures Afghan recent experience of past few decades in such a remarkable ease and simplicity. The story took me back to all my childhood places - I recognized all the characters with all their demons and their good deeds and their shame. As if Khaled was describing pages from my childhood. It is authentic and real no matter how painful or joyful or hopeless or hopeful.I saw the book on a recent trip to Norway and I picked it up and I did not put it down until I was done. I stayed in the hotel room and read the book instead of visiting the city that I had gone to visit.A must read for anyone who wants to understand people of the region (and not just the Afghans) a bit better. These people have been there for thousands of years and they are going nowhere and rightfully so, no matter who wants to force its way in.
