Harold Pinter

Harold Pinter was a man who had a big imagination and liked to make up stories, kind of like when you play pretend games with your friends. He wrote plays and stories for grown-ups to watch and read. His stories were often about people who wanted things from each other but didn't always say what they were thinking, which made things kind of confusing.

Some people got upset with Harold because they didn't understand what he was trying to say, but other people thought he was very clever and liked his stories a lot. He won lots of awards for his stories and became very famous. Even if you don't like his stories, you might recognize his name because he was a very important writer in grown-up world.
