Summary

An essential collection for any admirer of Harold Pinter, this brand-new, updated edition of his own selection of his poems and prose includes three never-before-published pieces, the most recent of which he wrote in January 1995. Included are love poems, political diatribes, short stories, character portraits. Some are intimately connected with the plays; others are intriguingly allusive; and all of them share Pinter's lean, taut, and sometimes jarringly original use of language.
