«La Castafiore» is the unauthorised biography by Albert Algoud of the Tintin character, published by Chiflet et Cie in paperback (141 pages, in French).
Starting from a re-reading of Hergé's albums, Albert Algoud questions the identity of the Castafiore and reconstructs her biography as a queer icon who crosses paths with real figures such as Josephine Baker, Lou Reed or De Gaulle. A parody written with affection and humour around a Tintin character.
The edition, published in Paris in 2006, bears the subtitle «Biographie non autorisée» and includes bibliographic references; the illustrations are by Alain Bouldouyre.
Aimed at Tintin fans and those who enjoy irreverent biographies of fictional characters.
Albert Algoud is a French humorist known for his sketches on several Canal+ programs and on the radio. He has also published books on Tintin.
