zhskyОдно из самых моих любимых изданий, The Paris Review, в своём архиве интервью хранит все интервью, начиная с 1953 года, и искать можно как по персоналиям, так и по годам.
Вот Гарольд Пинтер, 1966.
INTERVIEWER
Were the drama schools of any use to you as a playwright?
PINTER
None whatsoever. It was just living.
INTERVIEWER
Did you go to a lot of plays in your youth?
PINTER
No, very few. The only person I really liked to see was Donald Wolfit, in a Shakespeare company at the time. I admired him tremendously; his Lear is still the best I've ever seen. And then I was reading, for years, a great deal of modern literature, mostly novels.
INTERVIEWER
No playwrights—Brecht, Pirandello . . . ?
PINTER
Oh, certainly not, not for years. I read Hemingway, Dostoyevsky, Joyce, and Henry Miller at a very early age, and Kafka. I'd read Beckett's novels, too, but I'd never heard of Ionesco until after I'd written the first few plays.
INTERVIEWER
Do you think these writers had any influence on your writing?
PINTER
I've been influenced personally by everyone I've ever read — and I read all the time — but none of these writers particularly influenced my writing. Beckett and Kafka stayed with me the most —I think Beckett is the best prose writer living. My world is still bound up by other writers—that's one of the best things in it.

zenzinich, это к слову о "И кто их учит? Розова нет, Арбузова нет, Вампилова нет, Гельман в очень преклонном возрасте. Кто будет учить сейчас молодых драматургов именно профессии?"
