2008, Marjolijn Februari, “Frans Kellendonk-prijs 2008. Dankwoord door Marjolijn Februari [Frans Kellendonk Prize 2008. Acceptance speech by Marjolijn Februari]”, in Jaarboek van de Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde, page 204:Van het gesprek over de Nederlander en zijn identiteit, dat vorig jaar door Nederland rumoerde, is me één bijdrage in het bijzonder bijgebleven. Dat was een ingezonden brief over een Engelsman die in de metro van Londen alle Nederlanders ogenblikkelijk herkende aan hun gewoonte op een bankje te gaan zitten onder de verzuchting ‘hèhè’.- One contribution to the discussion on the Dutch and their identity that rumbled through the Netherlands last year particularly struck me. It was a letter to the editor about an Englishman who, on the London underground, instantly recognised all Dutchmen by their habit of sighing 'hèhè' when sitting down on a bench.
