In his essay "What Is World Literature?" David Damrosch states "[l]iterature in general, and world literature in particular, has often been seen in one or more of three ways: as an established body of classics, as an evolving canon of masterpieces, or as multiple windows on the world."
The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, must surely be placed in one or more of these categories. For further framework on better defining world literature, please read Damrosch's essay. And be prepared, gentle reader, to cite Damrosch in class.
