Pinter

Harold Pinter, playwright, 1930 - 2008.

He put meaning in what is not there.

Pause.

Pinter inserted a clearing, full of meaning, into the verbiage of our lives.

His evacuation to Cornwall and Reading from London during 1940 and 1941 before and during the Blitz and facing "the life-and-death intensity of daily experience" at that time influenced him profoundly. "His prime memories of evacuation today [circa 1994] are of loneliness, bewilderment, separation and loss: themes that are in all his works" (Billington, Harold Pinter). - Wikipedia
