Overview
This is the first major study of the extraordinary affinity between these two heavyweights of 20th-century literature. As well as offering a bold new interpretation of the struggle between father and son in Kafka's classic stories The Judgement and The Metamorphosis, Armstrong seeks to assess and document the extent to which Pinter had been influenced by this Kafkaian archetype. Three of Pinter's plays--The Homecoming, Family Voices and Moonlight --are examined in depth, the last two perhaps more comprehensively than ever before.Editorials

Three of Pinter's plays are examined in depth: The Homecoming, Family Voices, and Moonlight. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
