Author and UCSD Grad Khaled Hosseini Coming to La Jolla

Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, is coming to La Jolla. Hosseini, a UC San Diego alum, is releasing a new book this spring—And the Mountains Echoed— and Warwick's will host the book writer at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla on June 26.

Khaled will sign copies and discuss his latest novel with Martha Barnette, co-host of A Way with Words.

This is a ticketed event. Tickets are $32 and are available through Eventbrite. Tickets include admission for one and a copy of And the Mountains Echoed.

Hosseini's site explained that, "And the Mountains Echoed is a deeply moving story about how we love, how we take care of one another and how the choices we make resonate through generations. With profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion—and moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos—Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways that we help our loved ones in need and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us."

The book is scheduled to be released on May 21.
