About This Item
VICTOR SAWDON PRITCHETT (1900-1997). Pritchett was a British writer. He wrote many short stories, which were published in collected volumes, several books including two memoirs, and essays on literary criticism. AM. 1pg. 4” x 7”. N.d. N.p. An autograph manuscript by V. S. Pritchett of a poem called “Fashion Show in Narssaq”. Pritchett wrote down three stanzas of the poem on a sheet of notebook paper in holograph ink “Fashion Show in Narssaq. Here in Greenland against a backdrop of icebergs, / On a platform set up by the bay of a fjord / Five mannequins parade in the latest summer attire / Flown in that day from Copenhagen. // One of the girls / Has a limp, and they all need training in deportment, / Frizzed or frizzled their otherwise lank hair. Half boldly, / Half shyly they show off before their parents as the whole / Population of Eskimo Narssaq assembled, while / An amplifier diffuses its music. / At the end of the show / They line up for applause, and are then presented – / By the District Inspector of the Trading Monopoly – .” The manuscript is lightly stained and torn at the perforations, and it is in near fine condition overall.
