Lemoine, Randal and Ghislain de Marbaix. Monsieur Gontran, avril 1960-avril 1963. Paris: Julliard, 1968. 318 p.; 20.5 x 13.5 cm.; ill. dustjacket with text in white.
Ghislain de Marbaix co-owned the bar “L’Homme de Main” (1960-1962) – a favorite of the Situationist crew – alongside his companion Maryse Lucas. He was also a pimp. Monsieur Gontran offers us a glimpse into the life of a man who lived on the fringes of society, and whom Debord very much appreciated
Artus de Lavilleon, a contemporary artist and Maryse’s son, helped release a documentary entitled Les Enfants de la Societe du Spectacle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=FR&hl=fr&v=jJoAmRn7uwE&fmt=18

Hello, Randal Lemoine isn’t Ghislain de Marbaix, he is simply the co-autor of the text with “Monsieur Gontran” as known as Ghislain de Marbaix, as precised pp.9-10 of the book.
“The tatooed” was Maryse’s nickname and not Ghislain’s.
Best regards from France.
Thank you for the kind correction. I will make the changes. Much appreciated.
