John PrichardJohn Prichard - 1916 - 1989The award-winning novelist, short story writer and poet John Prichard (whose name was usually misspelt by Dylan as 'Pritchard') is now largely forgotten. He took part in the 1949 BBC broadcast Swansea and the Arts with Dylan, Vernon Watkins, Fred Janes and Dan Jones, which was recorded in the Grove recording studio, Uplands. In this broadcast, Dylan said, "John Prichard, writer, I can best introduce, perhaps, by saying that he is the only conspirator among us. He conspires with the leagues of silence against his own remarkably articulate stories, with the dark gangs against his own peculiar, penetrating, lopsidedly smiling light. He lets his stories slip out, guiltily, like secrets." |
