Must You Go?

My Life With Harold Pinter
Dec 07, 2010
Is this the most irritating and self-indulgent book in ages? Antonia Fraser gushes on about her marriage to Harold Pinter. They meet at some party and click immediately and he says "must you go?" when she leaves. The fact that she is married with family and he is married to the very talented actress Vivien Merchant is of no relevance and the way the titled lady is able to sweep aside minor impediments like the other people involved is quite gobsmacking. She sees Pinter as the genius of all time and we hear a lot about his human rights carrying on but little about the fact that he was acknowledged to be incredibly rude to common mortals. The only thing I can say is that these two self regarding Britishers really did deserve each other
