- Paul Koeck was born on August 20, 1940 in Boom, Flanders, Belgium. He was a writer and actor, known for Alias (2002), Bex & Blanche (1993) and Diamant (1997). He died on August 15, 2024 in Aalst, Flanders, Belgium.
- Paul Koeck came from far away. Things haven't been easy for him since he suffered a brain haemorrhage years ago. Koeck completely recorded his latest novel 'The Jealous Maker', a swinging moral comedy about a 31-year-old gigolo who hooks up with married women for pay to make their husbands jealous, on the computer, after which he edited the printed text. The writing process took a year and a half.
- His novels and stories were translated into French, German, English and Lithuanian. His plays into English, German and Catalan.
- The novel that was almost finished when he suffered the stroke was published in 2004: 'Le petit Belge' is a crime novel.
- Paul Koeck was a socially committed writer of novels, plays and screenplays for film and television. He was also active in essayistic and journalistic fields.
- After his brain haemorrhage, a long period of rehabilitation began, starting in the hospital 'De Bijtjes' in Vlezenbeek. It will be several years before Koeck will be able to write again: at first slowly and for a very limited time, then for a few hours. Due to his limited mobility, Koeck is forced to sell his farm and look for a more suitable home.
- Writing is nothing more than gaining experiences, processing them and saying what you have to say. From that set of experiences - meeting people, reading books, watching films - a novel, a play or a film is created.
- God first created man and then woman. This proves that the first raids are often the best.
- The word freedom is a club that you are given to defend yourself, after first being covered in green soap.
- The lie is strongest when it can lean against the truth here and there.
- A beautiful woman is impatient, nervous. She judges that the time she really lives in is too precious to waste it on waiting.
