News: Harold Pinter dies

It is with a sad heart that I am breaking the news of Harold Pinter's death. You can see http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/26/theater/26pinter.html?hp for a detailed article on his death. He died on Dec 24th and the cause was cancer. He was 78 years old.

When Pinter won the Nobel Prize in 2005, I used to teach his play, The Homecoming to my M.A. students. It was a great experience teaching him. He was one irrepressible person and I admired him a lot for his views as well as his plays.

May his soul rest in peace in the heavens because he was constantly restless here.
