DIED. V.S. PRITCHETT, 96, writer, critic and all-around British man of letters; in London. Literally a child of this century, Sir Victor (he was knighted in 1975) turned out pithy, highly polished prose in a variety of genres, including travel writing, memoirs (A Cab at the Door, 1968), biographies, novels (Dead Man Leading, 1937) and numerous collections of literary criticism and short stories.

Hence the need to set childhood off from adulthood as a condition requiring major investments of resources and energy on the part of all who have survived it. Making full-blown humans out of 7-lb. lumps of flesh is not a job for a slow-witted species: it takes a village, as the lady said...
