For more than twenty years, Mel Gussow, a drama critic for the New
York Times, has been meeting Harold Pinter to talk about work and
life, plays and people. At the core of this book is a series of
lengthy interviews - some of the most extensive that Pinter has
ever given - all published here in full for the first time. Pinter
and Gussow first meet in 1971, when Old Times is a new play and
Pinter's status as a major writer is still being confirmed. Then
come public and private conversations in the eighties, when the
voice of Pinter's political commitment is first heard. And finally,
over a period of a week in September 1993, the two talk after the
London premiere of Pinter's latest play, Moonlight. Here the
playwright is in a more mellow mood, happy to contemplate his early
life and to admit to a political agenda behind such plays as The
Birthday Party. Through these and other revealing insights, he
allows us to see the complete arc of his work to date in its true
light. The resulting book is one of the most thoughtful and
intimate portraits of the writer yet to appear. In fact, it is a
kind of self-portrait, since, intentionally, it is Pinter who does
most of the talking. Though famously reticent on the subjects of
his work and his private life, Pinter opens up for Gussow in a
manner both beguilingly frank and refreshingly informative.
