I'm not familiar with Pinter myself, though ever since the announcement, my other half hasn't stopped talking about it. He was impressed with the selection, and figures it's mostly due to his plays.. rather than his poetry.. either way, I thought I'd pass on this link, if you haven't read it already. Not sure if it'll be of interest, but my other half loved it. :)
