The Kite Runner
This book has finally been made into a movie! It had a limited release on December 14, 2007. There were delays in the release upon concern for the child actors in the film. I hope it comes to Kuwait, but I am not sure how much of an impact the censorship would take on the story. On censorship in Kuwait movies:
Its also very frustrating that they are censoring the movies at this point. They should at least apply age restrictions on movies and not let these kids into R rated movies. There is no source of entertainment and they make it difficult for people to enjoy these movies when they really want to see them.
Update: I came across a post over at Hilaliya:
A ‘Kuwait Book Fair’ is on the horizon… If you are searching for SKINNY BITCH, Khaled Hosseini’s THE KITE RUNNER, John Grisham’s PLAYING FOR PIZZA and other New York Times best-sellers, I suggest you look elsewhere. Like Borders and Virgin in Dubai or the new Borders in Muscat.
Substantiated by the Kuwait Times.
