V. S. Pritchett
I began to write short stories because they were short
- I didn't think I had the breath to go on month after month in one long narrative.
For more than 50 years Sir
Victor Pritchett has found the breath to produce enough short stories, essays, travel writing and criticism to ensure a permanent place in the history of English Literature. This month he is 85 and, in conversation with Richard Mayne , he talks about his life and work.
