In Must You Go? Lady Antonia Fraser recounts the life she shared with the internationally renowned dramatist and Nobel Prize--winner Harold Pinter. An insightful account of their three decades together, Must You Go? begins when Fraser was the wife of a member of Parliament and mother of six, and Pinter was married to a distinguished actress. Over the years, they experienced much joy, a shared devotion to their work, crises and laughter, and, in the end, great courage and love as Pinter battled the illness that eventually took his life in late 2008. Must You Go? is based on Fraser's recollections and on the diaries she has kept since October 1968. The author of many historical works, among them Mary, Queen of Scots; Cromwell, the Lord Protector; and, most recently, Love and Louis XIV: The Women in the Life of the Sun King, she has received numerous literary awards. Victoria Lautman, longtime Chicago radio host and formerly of WFMT's Writers on the Record, interviews Fraser.

Very entertaining interview with a great writer, Lady Antonia Fraser, remembering her happy marriage with Nobel Prize Winner Playwright, Harold Pinter ✨✨✨
Lady Antonia Fraser fine historian and wonderful to hear her
May such as the moderator, her guest and her guest's late husband never disappear as types. Civilized culture requires them.
Great interviewer and one of the most interesting authors of our time!
Interesting, and Insightful. Thanks for posting.
2008 - ten years already. But great writers never die, Harold's work feels more cogent today, than ever.
The bully boys of populism are classic Pinter characters. Trump being a classic Pinter monstrosity. So too Boris Johnson, a dark fool, we underestimated at our peril.
Harold warned us, such monsters can be funny, charming even ridiculous - luring the gullible into a false sense of security. Evil does not come with hooves and horns, for the most part, evil is jocular, amiable - a good sport. The devil is someone you might enjoy a martini with.
you fucking freaks see trump in EVERYTHING. by the way, pinter was a great writer but his politics were fucked (like yours). also, i'd rather enjoy a drink with a good sport, evil or not, then a smug, miserable socialist. here's to the good sports.
I'm surprised that you believe that Pinter was a great writer, on the other hand on seeing what a wonderful command of the English language you have perhaps I can understand why. Try listening to some of Pinter's political speeches and then try to think of an argument against his points rather than dismissing him as a "smug, miserable socialist." You might learn something.
JAMAICADOCK ....and usually someone who is right-wing and white.
