About Me

[Samuel Draper]: Where can we begin? Anywhere you like. I am ready to listen.[Michel de Ghelderode]: Yes, yes. When I have a sensitive listener, I will talk well. Very well, indeed, in a French which most people find too elegant, too explicit, too regal if you will, in a French that has become superannuated. I went to high school at the Institut Saint Louis in Brussels. My education was extraordinary. Those priests, against whom I hold nothing, further inculcated in me a taste for funereal rites which I had difficulty in exorcising. Earlier my fascination with death had been a beautiful rather than morbid experience.
