        In addition to writing unwatchable plays, Harold Pinter's contributions to literature include such memorable words as the following: " The <9-11> atrocity in New York was predictable and inevitable. It was an act of retaliation against constant and systematic manifestations of state terrorism on the part of the United States over many years, in all parts of the world..."
        Can anyone guess why the Nobel Committee picked him?

Besides all that Pinter diddled the lovely, very prolific and very pro-life and very Catholic Antonia Fraser causing her to be estranged from her Scottish husband and join as it were the NOW gang and the Sangerites.
Fortunately for the Western world Pinter came into her life after she had , I believe seven children so her intelligent and good-looking genes will not die out quite yet.
The Left in Europe LOVE Liberal-Left free love authors who seduce traditionalists. The love adulterers (how times have changed!). They love metrosexuals without honor or shame.
They love ANTI-AMERICANISM (which you noted) and ANTI-TRADITIONALISM. After all ALL TRADTION IS EVIL, FASCIST AND PASSE. Marriage is evil ,fascist and passe.
Pinter's work is a freakishness in art passing for originality. Strictly political second class work. O tempora! O Mores! What times! What customs!
Why don't they give a prize to Bin Laden while they are at it for his "SPEECHES".
John Paul II was a greater writer, thinker and playwrite by far and he never received a single vote and why would he? Churchill won as an anomaly in 1951 but today would not get a single vote. Pinter is just another overblow Ward Churchill as far as I am concerned.

Who now reads Pinter? Who ever read him through?

Pinter, a born Jew - had no problems identifying himself with the virulent anti Semitic Left as well as the Islamofascist Right. He was an obnoxious gasbag just like his contemporary Arthur Miller (another Leftist Israel ahting Jew).
