Pinteresque pin-ter-esk', adj. in the style of the characters,
situations, etc., of the plays of Harold Pinter, 20th-cent. English
dramatist, marked esp. by halting dialogue, uncertainty of identity,
and air of menace.
Oxford English Dictionary
"I loved words as a child, and that excitement has remained
with me all my life. I still feel as excited as I ever did about
words on a page and about the blank piece of paper and the words
that might fill it."
Harold Pinter
"Harold Pinter is Â… a cricketer, a defender of human
rights, a passionate polemicist, a playwright of rare power and
profound originality, a lucid director and an actor who always surprises
and never disappoints."
Richard Eyre
