The Dwarfs
T130867401
Len, Pete and Mark are old mates. They have the sort of friendship that it is difficult to survive. When the narcissistic Pete falls in love with Virginia the comradeship of their small world starts to disintegrate into mistrust. As Pete and Mark s rivalry escalates, Len's paranoia spirals into insanity, and he starts to imagine a party of dwarfs hovering on the edge of his already strange existence.
The Dwarfs is adapted from Pinter s first work and his only novel. Semi-autobiographical, it is a fascinating, disturbing and humorous study of Pinter from his own hand.
