It's a Baby-sitters Club shocker--Dawn's moving back to California for six months to live with her dad. When Dawn announces that she is moving back to California, the other babysitters cannot believe their ears. Dawn loves Stoneybrook, her stepfamily, the kids she babysits and her special friends in the Babysitters Club, but she misses her other life in California. She has made the decision to move back there for six months, but what will everyone do without her?
This work is an examination of four fictional texts on which Freud himself wrote; a fragmentary poem by Empedocles, Hebbel's "Judith and Holofernes", Jensen's "Gradiva" and E.T.A.Hoffmann's "The Sandman". In her analysis, Kofman is concerned to reassess these texts in the light of Freud's reading of them and to highlight what he misses out. She argues that Freud's claim to give faithful summaries of these works conceals his own editing and distortion of the texts.
