Nobel for Harold Pinter.

The Swedish Academy has announced: "The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2005 is awarded to the English writer Harold Pinter 'who in his plays uncovers the precipice under everyday prattle and forces entry into oppression's closed rooms.'"

Lots to lose yourself in out there: the official site, the Wikipedia entry, a bio and "critical perspective" from the British Arts Council and a nifty timeline from the BBC.
