Herman Huibert Koch

biography:
Koch werd geboren in Arnhem en verhuisde met zijn ouders op zijn tweede naar Amsterdam-Zuid. Zijn middelbare school begon hij op het Montessori Lyceum en hij werd aldaar wegens wangedrag verwijderd.

Hij is bekend als televisiemaker en acteur in de televisieserie Jiskefet. Ook is hij schrijver van romans, korte verhalen en columnist voor onder andere de Volkskrant. In de jaren 80 maakte hij sketches en parodieën voor het radioprogramma Borát, die hijzelf in een interview in NRC Handelsblad omschreef als 'interviews met mezelf'. In 2005 schreef hij het Groot Dictee der Nederlandse Taal. Hij is getrouwd met schrijfster Amalia de Tena. Samen hebben zij een zoon Pablo.

Zijn literaire romandebuut was Red ons, Maria Montanelli uit 1989. Het boek werd vergeleken met De avonden van G.K. van het Reve. Zijn schrijfstijl lijkt hier nog beïnvloed door de romans van Louis-Ferdinand Céline. De verhalenbundel Hansaplast voor een opstandige publiceerde hij onder het pseudoniem Menno Voorhof.

Een van zijn bekendste romans, Het diner, werd onder meer geïnspireerd door de moord op de dakloze vrouw María del Rosario Endrinal Petit in Barcelona (Spanje) in december 2005, die door drie jongens uit een zogenoemd fatsoenlijk milieu in het portaal van een bank werd mishandeld en daarna in brand gestoken. Het boek won in 2009 de NS Publieksprijs. In 2013 was dit boek een bestseller in de Verenigde Staten. Nooit eerder stond een van origine Nederlandse roman zo hoog genoteerd in een Amerikaanse bestsellerlijst. Het boek is vier keer verfilmd. Het boek Geachte heer M. uit 2014 gaat over een oudere schrijver, die bekend is van zijn oorlogsbestseller. Het boek is geen aanval op Harry Mulisch, zegt Koch zelf, hoewel hij diens biografie als aanzet gebruikt heeft.

Koch was de auteur van het Boekenweekgeschenk dat werd verspreid in de Boekenweek 2017.

Koch is een halfbroer van de schrijfster Els Pelgrom.

In januari 2024 werd bekend dat Koch sinds 2020 aan uitgezaaide prostaatkanker lijdt. In 2024 publiceerde hij Ga je erover schrijven? Daarin vertelt hij hoe hij omgaat met de diagnose.

Edouard Dore, a well-connected editor works with him and it is he who takes Rex to a carnival late one night to meet the performers in a freakshow. The first person Rex meets is Le Grand Zenon, a hulking one-eyed fellow with the amazing ability to use his eye to project movie images on a screen with neither a projector nor film.

Professeur Choron

biography:
Georget Bernier (21 September 1929 – 10 January 2005), more commonly known as Professeur Choron, was a French humorist and founder of Hara Kiri magazine.

Born in La Neuville-aux-Bois in Lorraine, Bernier was orphaned by his father at 11 years and without a proper education, he vacillated between many jobs before fighting in the Indochina Wars for 28 months. On his return he worked in the press, and rose through the ranks to take the position of sales manager of the satirical newspaper Zéro.

It was at Zéro that he met François Cavanna and Fred, with whom he founded the magazine Hara Kiri in 1960. After an initial ban, production of the magazine moved from Rue Choron to Rue de Montholon and Éditions du Square was created at its publication house.

In addition to his role of patron of Éditions du Square, Bernier also invested time in writing and photo-editing for Hara Kiri. It was during this era that he appeared on Jean-Christophe Averty's television variety show Les Raisins verts.

In 1969 the Hara Kiri team created Hara-Kiri Hebdo which shortly thereafter was renamed L’Hebdo Hara-Kiri. Other magazines published by Bernier's Editions du Square were the monthly comic Charlie Mensuel, one of the first ecological journals La Gueule ouverte, Mords-y l'œil, Surprise from designer Bernard Willem Holtrop, and Jean-Patrick Manchette's BD, l'hebdo de la BD.

1970 saw the creation of Charlie Hebdo, a weekly political newspaper for which Bernier was a regular contributor. The publication folded in 1981, but was relaunched by Cavanna and Bernier in 1993 and, as of 2011, remains in publication.

In 1988 Bernier adapted his fiches bricolages for television. He also participated in Jean-Michel Ribes' Merci Bernard. His last publications include La Mouise and Grodada, a publication for children. He also participated in several publications affiliated with Hara-Kiri, including ZOO and Yeti, as well as the launching of the periodical Zero in 1986.

In 1996, Aure Atika's interview of Jackie Berroyer for Radio Nova, at a bar's round table, degenerated into an angry exchange of words between Choron, who was sitting at the table, and Atika, with Choron denouncing her questions as "stupid" and Atika flinging the contents of her glass at him.

Bernier was the father of the comedian Michèle Bernier. He died 10 January 2005 at Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris and was buried at Montparnasse Cemetery alongside his wife Odile Vaudelle (1934–1985). In 2008, director Pierre Carles and artist Martin released the documentary Choron Dernière in his honour.

title: Choron dernière

overview: Georges Bernier, alias Professor Choron, died January 10, 2005. He was 75 years old. The few death notices that appeared in the French press mainly focused on the scatological nature of his humor, or on the good man's provocative side. No one recalled the essential, which was that with his passing not only had one of the great proprietors of the French press disappeared, but he'd taken with him an artist in his own right, quite unique in his own way : Professor Choron.

title: The Year 01

overview: The film narrates a utopian abandonment, consensual and festive of the market economy and high productivity. The population decides on a number of resolutions beginning with "We stop everything" and the second "After a total downtime will be revived-reluctantly-that the services and products including lack will prove intolerable. Probably: water to drink, electricity for reading at night, the TSF to say "This is not the end of the world, this is an 01, and now a page of Celestial Mechanics". The implementation of these resolutions is the first day of a new era, Year 01. The Year 01 is emblematic of the challenge of the 1970s and covers such diverse topics as ecology, negation of authority, free love, communal living, rejection of private property and labor.

title: Droit de Réponse

overview: "Droit de Réponse" (Right of Reply) is a French debate program broadcast between December 12, 1981 and September 19, 1987 on the TF1 channel, presented by Michel Polac and produced by Maurice Dugowson. Broadcast live on a weekly basis, on Saturdays from 8.30 p.m., the right of reply has been the source of many controversies, due to the various speakers who have come to present their point of view on the show (which leads to famous scandals , remained in the memory of viewers), but also for the variety and relevance of the topics covered, which ensured the success of the program on the air for several years. On French television, this program is considered by some observers as a “pioneer program in terms of controversy-show or clash, in modern language”.

title: Loft Paradoxe

overview: Reality TV has invaded the world television space for several years.  Garbage television, attack to the human dignity, cultural desertification for some, phenomenon of society, new frontiers of the intimacy, formidable gas pedal of television particles for the others; the debate on reality TV arouses a deep and lasting emotion, in short, it produces word. It is this word that we decided to relay by the glance and the images, we propose to decipher some of the paradoxes which riddle the multiple reflections of the many personalities that we interviewed.

title: Cavanna, jusqu'à l'ultime seconde j'écrirai

overview: A feature-length documentary about François Cavanna—creator of the publications Charlie Hebdo and Hara-Kiri—who passed away on January 29, 2014. His influence on several generations of writers, journalists, and comedians is far too little known. While older audiences are aware that he co-founded Hara-Kiri and Charlie Hebdo with Choron, the dozens of books and collections he wrote or contributed to remain largely unfamiliar. People chiefly remember his early autobiographical works—such as *Les Ritals*, *Les Russkoffs*, and *Bête et méchant*—while overlooking his historical novels, encyclopedias, and polemical writings like *Stop crève…* The film draws on interviews with Cavanna conducted shortly before his death, forgotten archival footage, and previously unheard testimonies from figures such as Siné, Willem, Delfeil de Ton, and Sylvie Caster.

overview: Following the release of Bérurier Noir's album "Concerto pour détraqués" on the Bondage label in 1985, the French punk scene began to organize itself and attract media attention. Following Bondage's example, François Hadji Lazaro founded the Boucherie Production label. The departure of bands to major companies, Bérurier Noir's lawsuit against its label Bondage, and above all the breakup of the band marked the end of an era.
