Must you go? de Antonia Fraser

2010, Weidenfeld & Nicolson. 328 pages-essay.
Antonia Fraser was married to a politician well known, had 6 children and had never contemplated divorce. But one night in 1975 was to greet, only to be kind, the author of The Birthday Party, whose representation had attended, and everything changed. He was Harold Pinter (also married to actress Vivien Merchant), and as the title says, do not let her go. The book is the diary of Antonia Fraser and her life with Harold Pinter until his death in 2008, when she made him the same question: Must you go? and the response this time was to be "yes." Fraser is a journalist and writer of historical biographies (including one about Marie Antoinette inspired Sofia Coppola), and a sophisticated and influential woman who was a classmate totally up to the great playwright. The two lived a really full of meetings, travel, exceptional circumstances cult drama and continuous celebrations of all possible fragments of happiness. They had a life of low very low (the cancer) and senior high (Nobel Prize), and much more in the middle. Pinter was tireless as a writer, director, actor, always had a project in hand, and political activism also emerged as an important part of your life. Moved me tremendously.
