I've been drawn to Okorafor's work since "Noor," and now I'm equally compelled by her larger vision/project for Nigerian literature and Africanfuturism. And now with a title like this? Ready!

"Separate the art from the artist"? That's hard while the artist still earns a royalty and spends it on harassing critics in court or promoting intolerance.

"The Death of the Author"? The author's heirs aren't dead and can keep a biography from being published. Copyright encourages intentionalism.

I’m halfway through #DeathoftheAuthor by @nnedi right now and holy WOW. This book, friends. @bookstodon #bookstodon I am riveted. It’s not what I expected in a good, good way. Sci-fi meets all of us without a mask.

Death of the author von Nnedi Okorafor
@nnedi

Die Geschichte einer schwarzen, disabeld Frau, die versucht ihr Leben zu leben und sich selbst finden trotz der Einflüsse von Familie und Gesellschaft, die oft anderes für die im Sinn hatten als sie selbst.

Von mir gibt es 9 von 10 Sternen.

In which I reinterpret a marshal, praise and damn The Red Room, and advocate for not just the Death of the Author but extend it to the Death of the Reader. Politics in RPGs at the table? Yes, please!

"There is no statement without the person making it". This is true for scripture and classical literature. "Death of the Author" is not true. #DeathOfTheAuthor #Bible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fODc7JkZLbI

My interpretation of Cersei Lannister, for example, is far, far different from that of GRRM or D&D, because I refuse to base it solely on the text itself. I did a whole Twitter thread about that, and I'll recreate it here eventually. 5/5

I simply don't accept a cishet male author's statements about his female characters as "canon", especially when it comes to his female villains. I view it with the same type of skepticism with which I view a cishet man's account of his "crazy" ex-girlfriend. 4/5

#socialmedia #tumblr #deathoftheauthor #fiction #menwritingwomen #patriarchy #misogyny

A cishet male author has biases shaped by the misogynistic patriarchal culture that birthed him, reared him, and privileged him, and I expect those biases to manifest in his writing, especially with his female characters, so I view his words about them skeptically. 3/5.

#socialmedia #tumblr #deathoftheauthor #fiction #menwritingwomen #patriarchy #misogyny

These days, I always treat a cishet male author writing female characters, especially female villains, as if he were an unreliable narrator speaking from a perspective that has been filtered through the lens of his own biases, a voice that is neither objective nor omniscient. 2/5

#socialmedia #tumblr #deathoftheauthor #fiction #menwritingwomen #patriarchy #misogyny

In all seriousness, female characters written by cishet male authors are where I get the most Death-of-The-Authory in my consumption of fiction these days. 1/5

I’m wondering– how do other people feel about “death of the author?” I’m really not a fan of it– I think the author’s life + beliefs are typically very visible in their work, no matter how much you try to pretend they’re not. I see the “Emma Watson wrote Harry Potter” tweets as immature.
But I’m wondering how common this view is. What do you guys think?
