"Kijk naar het Franse Presses de la Cité, daar vind je links en rechts samen en dat is zinderend. In Vlaanderen ben je links of rechts, alhoewel, (peinst) vervagen die grenzen? Is het dat wat Thom Pelckmans bezielt, een late roeping voor de aanpak van het Franse huis? Men wist waar Pelckmans voor stond, wat zijn DNA was, maar hoe is dat vandaag met Harold Polis en André van Halewyck, toch wel afkomstig van extreemlinks, die inschuiven bij de brave, Vlaamsgezinde clan Pelckmans.”--2015, Walter Soethoudt interviewed by Frans Crols

Walter Soethoudt (1939) is a Belgian writer and publisher.

Born in Antwerp, in 1964 he started his one-man business by publishing quantities of erotic fiction, some of it written by himself, others works by tested authors such as D.A.F. Sade (before Bert Bakker did). Later as Soethoudt & C°., he published literary fiction, plays, essays and historical nonfiction, as well as work on the Flemish Movement. He later founded Facet nv which also published foreign authors. Freddy de Vree wrote a small essay on Soethoudt in Rita Renoir, enz. (1973) titled "Winnetou Stradevarus".

He was printer-for-hire with an interesting bibliography: partly risqué, sensational, partly literary fiction by authors such as Georges Adé, Heere Heeresma, René Gysen, Gust Gils, Freddy de Vree, Claude Krijgelmans, Patrick Conrad, Louis Willems and Jef Geeraerts. These authors also often translated for Soethoudt and published more often than not under pseudonyms for his imprints.

Soethoudt was no Eric Losfeld, but Belgium's nearest equivalent. Ah, the glorious days of literary mystifications! Read all about them in Soethoudt's autobiography titled Uitgevers komen in de hemel (2008).
