Selected Writings

Sarah Kofmans philosophical works currently available in English are: The Childhood of Art (1988), The Enigma of Woman: Woman in Freud's Writings (1985), Freud and Fiction (1991), and Nietzsche and Metaphor (Stanford, 1994). Thomas Albrecht is Assistant Professor of English at Tulane University.

"Kofman had something to say, and her writings still command attention for their insight, their adventurousness,and their attentiveness to the philosophical traditions with which she so productively wrestled. She was one of the great readers of Freud in the twentieth century, and she brought the same caring intelligence to her interpretations of Nietzsche."—BookForum
