The Levin Interviews

V. S. Pritchett (3x5)

Air date: Jun 26, 1982

At 81, Pritchett still works from 9.0 to 5.0 every day of the week, weekends included, lest he should forget how to write. Preferring the ' darting glance ' of the short story to the novel, which he feels has to tell the reader everything, Pritchett has also written two brilliant autobiographies, A Cob at the Door and Midnight Oil.
