About this book

Using Martin Esslin's "invention" - the Theatre of the Absurd - to examine Pinter's works, Wong brings the complexities and intricacies of the plays to the forefront, provoking readers and audiences to reconsider and problematize more conventional studies of his plays.

Reviews

"By drawing out multidimensional implications, [Chui] foregrounds positive elements often neglected in Pinter studies and helps widen perception of Pinter's work. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." - CHOICE
