Another reason why Harold Pinter deserved the Nobel Prize

Christopher Hitchens didn't like it ...

"The award to someone who gave up literature for politics decades ago, and whose politics are primitive and hysterically anti-American and pro-dictatorial, is part of the almost complete degradation of the Nobel racket."

Hitchens has been behaving like a complete git ever since the award was announced. Sour grapes?

Pinter however has been gracious in the extreme.
