Harold Pinter: the man who started as the son of an English tailor to transform into one of the most important English writers, claiming a place alongside Beckett.

In this book, you will read about how his works were born, his acquaintance with Peter Hall, his journey with Arthur Miller to Turkey, the difference between silence and pause, what the actor adds to the play, what he tells the actors when directing, why he hates interviews, how he views the future, the past, and the present, who today’s heroes are, why he does not believe in God even though he is Jewish, why he was a conscientious objector, and how determined he was to go to jail in order not to pick up a weapon.

In this book, Harold Pinter, with a glass in hand, becomes the hero of a play written by his own life.
