Although Lou Andreas-Salomé’s literary work is unambitious, it both prefigures and redeploys the motifs that punctuate her analytical texts, which are also marked by a façade of ingenuity. The images chosen by Lou give substance to an intermediate area between literature and psychoanalysis, which is also includes philosophy. A reading of Jutta, an innocent short story written in 1933, reveals the significance of the founding exchanges with Nietzsche, in which Lou’s therapeutic vocation takes shape as a counterpoint to an unprecedented redistribution between the Eternal Feminine and the Eternal Masculine that the philosopher intuited through his contact with her. Although Lou claimed that she had not produced a great work of fiction, we can detect in her work as a whole the lineaments of a vast ramification which operates at the heart of this intermediate area between literature and psychoanalysis, and which owes its irreducible geography to philosophy.
