Asterix author Fabrice Caro: “I had to tame my humor a bit”

The 40th Asterix comes from a new author. Fabrice Caro loves it snappy. And he knows village life – as the new volume will show

Mr. Caro, the plot of a new “Asterix” album is always guarded like a state secret. But we heard that the next volume will be about topics such as mindfulness and self-optimization. Correct?
Yes, there is a lot of debate about this in France right now. And “Asterix” has always been a series in which modern aspects were taken up. “Obelix GmbH & Co. KG” was about capitalism. In the “trailer city” there is a building frenzy and real estate madness. And now these same topics are moving into the village.
