Harold Pinter has won the Nobel Prize for Literature
I've always enjoyed his plays with their uniquely English sense of menace.
I understand his acceptance speech went like this:
PINTER: Thank (pause) you (longer pause) Academy. This means
A PAUSE OF FIVE DAYS DURING WHICH EVERYONE PACKS UP AND GOES HOME
PINTER: (CONT) so much - where's everybody (pause) gone?
Finally, someone I've read.
October 14th, 2005
A deserved win.
