* BannedInChina: Brusselmans is a writer who regularly pokes fun at Flemish celebrities in a degrading and largely inaccurate manner. He sparked controversy when one of his victims, fashion designer Ann Demeulemeester, convinced a court to ban his novel Guggenheimer Wast Witter in 1999. Belgians were outraged at what they saw as preventive censorship with no chance for the author to really defend himself; they circumvented the ban by importing the book from the Netherlands. In 2011, former Belgian Prime Minister and then-EU governor Herman van Rompuy introduced an EU-wide law preventing this sort of judicial order, which led to the ban being overturned.

Herman Brusselmans, born in 1957, is one of the most scandalous UsefulNotes/{{Belgi|um}}an writers to ever exist --if the amount of lawsuits for defamation he has accumulated over the years is anything to go by, of course.
A mildly successful soccer player in his youth, and a columnist, poet, novelist, and playwright for the rest of his life. His writing has an important {{autobiograph|y}}ical component as it tends to revolve around four {{Central Theme}}s: cigarettes, alcohol, boredom, and sex.
He has an Website/{{Instagram}} [[https://www.instagram.com/hermanfmbrusselmans/?hl=en profile]] where he posts random photographs of his daily life and some literature critique.
Not to be confused with the also Belgian artist Creator/JeanBrusselmans.
