Harold Pinter wins Nobel literary prize.
*hesir
reports, Oct 13, 2005
reports, Oct 13, 2005Controversial Human Rights Campaigner and the “UK's greatest living playwright”, Harold Pinter, has won the 2005 Nobel Prize for literature.
The author of more than 30 plays, Pinter, 75, also writes poetry, prose and numerous screenplays for film and television. He achieved international success as one of Britains most complex post-World War II dramatists. His use of silence to increase tension, understatement, and cryptic small talk are the hallmark of his plays, along with the 'Pinteresque' themes of nameless menace, erotic fantasy, obsession and jealousy, family hatred and mental disturbance.
In accepting the prize he joins the ranks of Samuel Beckett, Guenter Grass and John Steinbeck. In 1964 Jean-Paul Sartre won the award, but declined to accept it.
