| - | Herman Brusselmans studied Dutch and English at the University of Ghent. In his early twenties he was a successful soccer player. He used to play for [[Vigor Hamme]] and [[SK Lokeren]]. Now he has got his own football team which is called "De Woody's", after his late dog Woody. In 1981 Herman Brusselmans got married but divorced several years later.

| - | In the early eighties of the twentieth century Herman Brusselmans was regarded as a writer of a new generation, together with others such as [[Tom Lanoye]] and [[Kristien Hemmerechts]]. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Although Herman Brusselmans recently stated in the Flemish magazine [[HUMO]] that he would stop writing about existing people and situations, his work is highly autobiographical up to this point. Alcohol, sex and boredom are recurring themes throughout his work. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Not only his work contributed to his stardom, but also his media appearances. He used to have his own television show, and still appears regularly on talkshows. He also has a weekly column in [[HUMO]]. Bold, straightforward statements and comments have become his trademark throughout the years and always attract attention. This trademark cost him several lawsuits. The most memorable of which was when [[Ann Demeulemeester]], a Belgian fashion designer, filed a complaint with the court about a remark that was made about her in [["Uitgeverij Guggenheimer"]]. This led to a recall of the book in Belgium. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Critics refer to the recurrences of sex, drugs and boredom in his work by calling them monotonous. Also the autobiographical side and the bold statements are widely regarded as a lack of quality. Nontheless he is immensely popular and one of the best-selling authors in [[Flanders]]. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | He played an [[autistic]] [[Hells Angel]] painting [[surrealist]] [[slogans]] on the caravans in the movie [[Camping Cosmos]] (1996). | + | |

| - | In early 2007 the film "[[Ex-drummer]]", based on the similarly called book, was released. It was directed by Koen Mortier. | + | |
