The Bell Jar
Sylvia Plath's college boyfriend, Dick Norton (Buddy, of "The Bell Jar") contracted tuberculosis while at Harvard University, and was sent to Ray Brook for treatment. Plath visited him in 1952, and broke her leg while skiing on Mount Pisgah in nearby Saranac Lake. Andrea Barrett's 2007 novel "The Air We Breathe" is based on a fictionalized Ray Brook Sanatorium.
