4、sts seven-year-long love affair with Joan Bakewell. But, as I saw it, that was simply the plays origin. All I had done, I hoped, reminded people that Pinter was a writer who would make use of his own life experience. That point can also be seen from Antonias book. Theres an interesting account of a

7、ien, “While she was alive, if you think about it, so much of my work was about unhappy frozen married relationships. ”In shortas Stoppard once wroteinformation, in itself, about anything, is light. And modern biography, particularly in the hands of masters, has been helpful to literature by opening

Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. Whats worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do n
