Description:
An indispensable companion for anyone wishing to delve into the astonishingly dazzling and frequently ominous world of the Nobel Prize-winning playwright which includes key plays, poetry, essays, and screenplays.
Harold Pinter is one of our most profound poets and playwrights, with work ranging from his plays The Caretaker, The Homecoming, and Betrayal to such poems as "The Bombs" and "Death." A writer known for his searing exploration of power, Pinter gives us an electrifying look into the often uncomfortable relationships between people -- whether family members or political opponents. In voyaging in, we not only come to fully appreciate the breadth of a body of work spanning over fifty years, but acquire a better understanding of human interaction.
