What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani mentions Lou Andreas-Salomé only in connection with Nietzsche, one of whose loves she was1. He comes back several times to the photograph in which she stands, whip in hand, in the cart pulled by Nietzsche and his companion2. In 2021, in a session devoted to Nietzsche against Wagner, he notes that she is looking at the photographer, as Rée is3. He presents her as the other woman who overwhelmed Nietzsche, and reports that the philosopher's sister contemptuously called her "the Russian"4, a nickname he later uses himself. In 2023, in a live reading titled "Nietzsche or the Great Simpleton", he calls her "undulating and marvellous" and mentions her as the object of Nietzsche's clumsy marriage proposal5. These mentions remain brief: she appears as a figure in Nietzsche's love life, and the passages say nothing about her own writings.

Who is this?Lou Andreas-Salomé (born either Louise von Salomé or Luíza Gustavovna Salomé or Lioulia von Salomé, Russian: Луиза Густавовна Саломе; 12 February 1861 – 5 February 1937) was a Russian-born psychoanalyst and a well-traveled author, narrator, and essayist from a French Huguenot-German family.
