Synopsis
Harold Pinter's first and only novel, written in the early 1950s before he began writing plays. The novel is set in post-war London's East End, a landscape of bomb-sites, and describes the lives of four young Londoners whose energy and humour lift them above the routine austerity of the time.

Review
"Like a pungent, virile brandy and therefore to be savored carefully and enjoyed thoughtfully ... [The Dwarfs] embodies the characteristics of Pinter's early plays shaped by the spare, chiseled taste of a balanced literary eye."
