Summary
"Harold Pinter: A Question of Timing focuses on the ways in which Harold Pinter conceives of and dramatises time, showing that his concern with temporality extends beyond his obvious fascination with memory and into an area where time becomes relativistic. This analysis of Pinter's temporal relativity helps us to understand better how the surface naturalism of his plays is so often undermined by the specific time-frame in which his characters either speak or otherwise partake in the action.
