Further questions were later raised about the existence of a Father Mattias - who was said in the book to have lived in Hiroshima at the time of the bombing and committed suicide - and a Jesuit scholar, John MacQuitty, said to have presided over his funeral.
Publisher Holt said on Monday that Pellegrino had been unable to offer a satisfactory answer.
"It is with deep regret that Henry Holt and Company announces that we will not print, correct or ship copies of Charles Pellegrino's The Last Train from Hiroshima," it said, in a statement on Monday. "It is easy to understand how even the most diligent author could be duped by a source, but we also understand that opens that book to very detailed scrutiny," it added. "The author of any work of non-fiction must stand behind its content."
It added: "Unfortunately, Mr Pellegrino was not able to answer the additional questions that have arisen about his book to our satisfaction." |
