Harold Pinter, Fascism, and Outrage
This book locates Harold Pinter’s controversial anti-fascism, overtly political plays not as revolutionary works designed to mobilize the masses, but as cries of moral outrage against the authoritarian forces of oppression. Displaying on stage the plight of political prisoners facing illegal detainment, brutal interrogation, and torture, Pinter employs an aggressive, graphic style seeking to shock spectators out of their apathy and denial, and encourage awareness of such documented realities of fascist rule. Russell argues that Pinter’s political plays are not propagandistic screeds, but rather reflect a level of quasi-journalistic facticity about the global rise of fascism. The author emphasizes that Pinter develops a fictional framework in an effort to reach a level of truth beyond the mere compilation of facts. Pinter seeks to abrasively drill down through the facts of political torture to expose the truth that lies at the rotting core of fascism. Russell interprets Pinter’s

Tolv Gånger Pinter
Harold Pinter: Tolv gånger Pinter Kontroversiell och älskad Harold Pinter, en av 1900-talets största dramatiker, lämnar ingen oberörd. I mästerverk som Födelsedagsfesten, Älskaren, Svek och Ingenmansland har han skildrat spelet mellan man och kvinna och det anonyma hotet i människors vardag. Här finns även en skarp kritik av makten i olika former. Genom sitt fint utmejslade språk håller han både teaterpubliken och läsarna i stark spänning. Det har sagts att hans mästerskap består i att reducera, det vill säga ta bort all onödig bråte av psykologi, bakgrundsteckning och liknande. I det avseendet kan hans inflytande på det moderna dramat inte underskattas. Kvar finns i Pinters eget fall en paradoxal skönhet, en formens märkliga elegans. Det gör hans pjäser lika läsbara som spelbara. Harold Pinter tilldelades 2005 års Nobelpris i litteratur för att han i sina dramer »frilägger avgrunden under vardagspratet och bryter sig in i förtryckets slutna rum« (Svenska Akademien). Tolv gånger Pinter är den första av tre volymer av Harold Pinters samlade dramatiska verk. Den andra volymen utkommer redan den 28 november 2005, den tredje i mars 2006. Förord av teaterkritikern Leif Zern.
