Pinter Wins Nobel Prize in Literature - Yahoo! News: “STOCKHOLM, Sweden - British playwright Harold Pinter, who juxtaposed the brutal and the banal in such works as ‘The Caretaker’ and ‘The Birthday Party’ and made an art form out of spare language and unbearable silence, won the 2005 Nobel Prize in literature Thursday….
“Pinter restored theater to its basic elements: an enclosed space and unpredictable dialogue where people are at the mercy of each other and pretense crumbles,” the academy said.
A good choice for once.
