"Harold Pinter is our foremost living dramatist; and in this ground-breaking book the first authorized biographical study - Michael Billington examines Pinter's work in the context of his life. Pinter's plays, including such acknowledged masterpieces as The Caretaker and The Homecoming, are subjected to close textual scrutiny and are seen to spring from a mixture of experience, memory and the unfettered poetic imagination. Billington's book also demolishes the myth that Pinter's political commitment is either belated or aesthetically detrimental: the dramatist is seen from the outset as a vehement opponent of authoritarian structures. Through extended conversations with Pinter and through interviews with his friends and colleagues, Billington also builds up a portrait of the man as well as the artist. We learn of Pinter's formative Hackney childhood, of his conscientious objection, of his love affair with Ireland, of his sacred belief in friendship, of his two marriages, of his uncompromising hatred Of injustice, of his passion for poetry and cricket. He emerges as a man of infinite complexity whose imaginative world is shaped by his private character. Billington sees a continuous line of development through Pinter's life and work: not only his plays but his poetry, his sole excursion into fiction, The Dwarfs, his radio and television drama and his scripts for such award-winning films as The Servant, Accident and The Go-Between. The book offers a radical reassessment of Pinter. He is seen not simply as a propagator of mystery and menace but as a creator of archetypal situations and characters that often derive from experience and are then developed in the darkroom of his imagination.
