What I took from this article is that the author is dead
because after he is done writing it no longer matters what he believes about
the he has written. To me, it’s like artist and there artwork. Once a piece is
done, it’s no longer theirs. It’s now public domain for an audience to
critique, explore or take what they want from it and analyze it in there own
way. He writes, “Author is supposed to feed the book — that is, he pre-exists
it, thinks, suffers, lives for it; he maintains with his work the same relation
of antecedence a father maintains with his child.” Like a child that grows up
and becomes his own person, art and books have the ability to grow and become something
bigger than what they once were through captivation of and audience and how
they receive the work. The question is do you as the artist/author care what
the audience thinks and if so why?
