by Harold Pinter

Published 1 October 1990
"A fascinating work . . . possessing extraordinary power. Masterful." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Brilliant, cranky, and eccentric, and the narrative passages are some of the most thrilling ever written." --Library Journal

"The Abbott and Costello meet Samuel Beckett dialogue . . . makes you laugh out loud." --The Village Voice
