Playwright, Activist, Poet and Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter died of cancer last week at the age of 78. The adjective, "Pinter-esque," is often used to describe situations marked by, "Halting dialogue, uncertainty of identity, and an air of menace." His gripping, fiercely passionate speech in acceptance of his 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature reflects a man with no time left for fear, crippled by his physical shell, and yet liberated by his limited time to inhabit it. Pay particular attention to the Pablo Neruda exceprt towards the end. R.I.P. (1930-2008)
