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].

I give novels as gifts, and there is nothing I like to receive more as a gift.

it is a heartBreaking sound, Amir Jan, the Wailing of a mother. I pray to Allah you Never hear it.

The desert weed lives on, but the flower of spring blooms and wilts.

i want to give up my bearings, slip out of who i am, shed everything, the way a snake discards old skin.

A stubborn ass needs a stubborn driver

Fabio Celon did send me pages as he progressed, both in black and white and some color samples as well. It was really exciting to see the sketches and to see the story [The Kite Runner] shaping up visually.
