The Peopled Wound: The Work of Harold Pinter Kedvezmény

This study of Pinter’s work by the author of The Theatre of the Absurd was written with the assistance of Pinter himself, who checked the factual material in the chronology of his career and allowed Esslin to read his unpublished work, including his early novel, a completed but discarded play and a number of prose pieces. Using these in conjunction with Pinter’s poetry, film scripts and established oeuvre, Esslin seeks to identify the sources of Pinter’s appeal and to elucidate what many have found puzzling or obscure in his plays.
