More About The Pipe

I just researched the picture, and found out that it was created by a French artist who wanted to show that although it WAS a painting of a pipe, it wasn't actually a pipe- to explain this he said 'could you stuff my pipe? No, it's just a representation'. I think the link this has to the Kite Runner could be that the book isn't actually what it first appears to be- you have to research into it's background to fully understand what it's about.
