About the book:
Five years after that first Dutch-language biography about le Beau Serge, Hecke is back with new work. No thin sequel to that previous acclaimed work, no 'biography part 2'. But it is a wonderful new book that points noses and makes your feet turn. Because together with the doors of Serge's house in the Rue de Verneuil in Paris, there were still doors swinging open for the biographer. From family members to producers Gainsbourg once received in the studio, from artist-fans to concert organisers: they all pulled up his sleeve with new revealing stories and anecdotes. Did you know, for example, that Gainsbourg linked Liesbeth List to Ramses Shaffy? That Gainsbourg shared a secret with Sylvia Kristel? That Brel gave him tips about women? Parcours Gainsbourg starts in Paris, where the man was born, smoked, drank, made love, ate, slept and wrote. But it also takes you to Amsterdam, Brussels, Liège, Ostend and other places in the Netherlands and Belgium. Gainsbourg chez les Belges et les Hollandais, quoi.
