Coming Up: An Evening with Khaled Hosseini


The timing of this is perfect, since I just started reading A Thousand Splendid Suns (granted it's been on my bookshelf for a year).

New York Times #1 bestselling author, and a local author and physician Khaled Hosseini, is speaking at an event to raise funds for a Trust in Education. The evens features a discussion with Hosseini, who wrote the Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I heard him speak a few years ago on his books, and he was a pleasure to listen to.


The event is a benefit for a Trust in Education, a grass roots,non-profit organization founded in 2003 to provide healthcare, education and economic developmentprograms in Afghanistan.


If your kids are old enough to read the books (high school, maybe even younger), this would be a great chance for them to connect what they've read with the person writing it.

Where: Smithwick Theater at Foothill College (12345 El Monte Road, Los Altos)
