Biography

After studying journalism and political science in Bordeaux, Sylvie Caster published numerous columns, notably in Charlie Hebdo from 1976 to 1981 at the time of Cavanna, Wolinski and Reiser, then in Le Canard enchaîné .

She entered Le Canard in 1983 where she hosted a column entitled "Calamity Caster", where she took an energetic position in a whole series of social debates. She was the first woman writer of Le Canard enchaîné since 1920. The arrival of this strong personality did not go unnoticed to the newspaper which, by tradition, is accompanied in the texts and also the drawings, with a smiling but real misogyny . She received the Mumm Prize in 1994.

Since its creation in 2008, she regularly collaborates with the magazine XXI , in which she draws a unique portrait of France today.

She is the author, among others, of five novels including Les Chênes verts and Dormir.
