Vociferous misogyny and racism is not counterbalanced by brilliance. Faulkner can write misery and miserable awful people, but that doesn't make it feel and less icky understanding just how much he hates women and black people. #deathoftheauthor

I played a game I swore I would never play. I hate how much I enjoyed it. A review of the game, my history with Harry Potter, and, surprise, a discussion about the phrase “The Death of the Author.”

The thing about having consumption being the theme of what I'll work on this year is...don't start with playing The Witcher 3! I had the first draft of this written at the end of December, but finally, here it is. #videogame #deathoftheauthor

To be clear: I don't particularly care what ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER means to PTA. #DeathOfTheAuthor But if we're looking at how he discusses the film, I think it's reasonable to conclude that does say *something* about what it means to him. But he's just one guy.

For all intents & purposes, they've gone from #DeathOfTheAuthor to deliberately #AvadaKedavra -ing the author. Some are even going with the fan theory that Rita Skeeter is the actual author of the books as canon. I think it's interesting how the books taught a lesson their own author didn't learn.

Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor

Oh y'all weren't kidding about this being the best novel to ever hit

🎧Death of the Author - Nnedi Okorafor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is one of the most unusual premises for a book I’ve ever read. It didn’t go the way I was expecting it to and I liked that it was sci-fi without it being too “sci-fiey”.

ChatGPT just told me I'm dead. I died peacefully in my home, apparently, after a long illness. Yeah, you wish. Could this have anything to do with my book on AI coming out next week, which does't give you a good rep? No, you're not that smart #deathoftheauthor #AI #ChatGPT

BadEggs - death of the author Minimalist drawing, dry humor, and a touch of nihilism.

what? an educational comic? that's right! let's discuss the trope of Death of the Author #writers #artist #comics #webcomics #webtoon #deathoftheauthor

www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ba...

I'll have to post a picture of the cover some time because 🤌Nnedi Okorafor never ceases to tell a story that is so thought-provokingly original that it keeps you thinking about it for days after.

Full review on the blog in bio. 
#bookreview #deathoftheauthor

If you're gonna dismiss works of literature based on whether the author was/is horrible, you're gonna have a very short list of approved #books. Plenty of authors were anti-Semitic, racist, sexist, bigots, snitches, and fascists. Not saying its right, I'm saying its true. #writers #deathoftheauthor

Finished #deathoftheauthor by @nnedi.bsky.social.

Holy shit. It’s like if a tesseract was a book. Unsurprisingly the quality of the comments on Reddit mirrored the quality of the comments on Zelu’s book.

Whew. My brain. 🧠
