I have a letter in today’s NY Times Arts & Leisure section, objecting to Sarah Lyall’s Oct. 7 puff piece on Harold Pinter.
Pinter’s political views are as crude as they come — leave it to an arts journalist not to examine them in any depth. The playwright didn’t simply protest NATO intervention in the Balkans; he joined the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic. Align oneself with genocide apologists? No problem. Visit the big bad United States? Oh my goodness, Pinter’s much too “righteous” for that.
