Talk:Jan de Hartog/Comments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you actually *read* The Hospital, you will learn that the de Hartogs did NOT have to leave Houston, since the book did NOT lead to the hostility described in the article. In fact, Marjorie de Hartog, now 73 years old, still lives near me in Houston.
Also, Mrs. de Hartog is referred to as "non-Dutch" in the article. She is, more precisely, English-born. (Again, this fact is stated several times in The Hospital.)
If you have any doubt as to the veracity of these statements, just just call or e-mail the University of Houston M.D. Anderson Library (Special Collections department), where all of Mr. de Hartog's writings are kept.
Thank you.
