And her two novels:

Barbara Bray, trans.  

_The Old Man and the Wolves_  Barbara Bray, trans.  New York: Columbia 
University Press, 1994.


**Also keep your eye for her forthcoming book on Proust (already 
published in French).  To be translated by Ross Mitchell Guberman and 
published by Columbian UP.


For new readers, I would suggest a) Revolution and Poetic Language  to 
get a grasp of her earlier semiotic work  or b) Tales of Love  for a good 
example of her later psychoanalytic work.
