"A fascinating work . . . possessing extraordinary power. Masterful." --San Francisco Chronicle "Brilliant, cranky, and eccentric, and the narrative passages are some of the most thrilling ever written." --Library Journal "Some of the author's most enduring themes--notably, sexual jealousy and betrayal--are present. . . . The narration shows traces of writers as various as Joyce and Beckett, e.e. cummings and J.P. Donleavy." --The Washington Post "The Abbott and Costello meet Samuel Beckett dialogue . . . makes you laugh out loud." --The Village Voice

"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."
Harold Pinter was born in London in 1930. He lived with Antonia Fraser from 1975 and they married in 1980. In 1995 he won the David Cohen British Literature Prize, awarded for a lifetime's achievement in literature. In 1996 he was given the Laurence Olivier Award for a lifetime's achievement in theatre. In 2002 he was made a Companion of Honour for services to literature. In 2005 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and, in the same year, the Wilfred Owen Award for Poetry and the Franz Kafka Award (Prague). In 2006 he was awarded the Europe Theatre Prize and, in 2007, the highest French honour, the Légion d'honneur. He died in December 2008.
