Woven Fiction Elements

More From Khaled Hosseini

I believe fabio celoni's work vividly brings to life not only the mountains, the bazaars, the city of kabul and its kite-dotted skies, but also the many struggles, conflicts, and emotional highs and lows of amir's journey [from the the kite runner].

There is really no fiction or non-fiction; there is only narrative. one mode of perception has no greater claim on the truth than the other; that the distance has perhaps to do with distance - narrative distance - from the characters; it has to do with the kind of voice that is talking, but it certainly hasn't to do with the common distribution between fact and imagination.
Distance Character Voice
It so happens that the major relationships in the novel [the kite runner] are between men, dictated not by any sort of prejudice or discomfort with female characters, but rather by the demands of the narrative.

Marriage is tough, because it is woven of all these various elements, the weak and the strong. "in love-ness" is fragile for it is woven only with the gossamer threads of beauty. it seems to me absurd to talk about "happy" and "unhappy" marriages.

Prose gets divided up into fiction and nonfiction and short fiction and long fiction and autobiographical nonfiction and so on. poetry can do any of those things except with the added definition of intensified formal pressure.
Long Fiction And Nonfiction Pressure
Writers imagine that they cull stories from the world. i'm beginning to believe that vanity makes them think so. that it's actually the other way around. stories cull writers from the world. stories reveal themselves to us. the public narrative, the private narrative - they colonize us. they commission us. they insist on being told. fiction and nonfiction are only different techniques of story telling. for reasons that i don't fully understand, fiction dances out of me, and nonfiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world i wake up to every morning.

I wish that we lived in a time and a generation where people would stop viewing my honesty as overly emotional. people always act like i spend my life crying in a dark room. i don't, i'm good. i'm a man. i want to be remembered as an artist that gave you a piece of me, as opposed to some surface bullshit. i don't think people realize that we die, we leave here, and either they forget about you or remember you. and how they remember you is up to you. i just want to be remembered as a poet that was open and honest because i wake up every morning and i'm me.
Morning Honesty Real
I don't go to an office, so i write at home. i like to write in the morning, if possible; that's when my mind is freshest. i might write for a couple of hours, and then i head out to have lunch and read the paper. then i write for a little bit longer if i can, then probably go to the library or make some phone calls. every day is a little bit different. i'm not highly routinized, so i spend a lot of time wandering around new york city with my laptop in my bag, wondering where i'm going to end up next. it's a fairly idyllic life for someone who likes writing.
Morning New York Couple
But even so, every now and then i would feel a violent stab of loneliness. the very water i drink, the very air i breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. the pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. i could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning.
