Lady Antonia Fraser: Must You Go? My Life with Harold Pinter

http://chicagohumanities.org - See more Chicago Humanities Festival events.

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.
