  • Summary

  • In this episode we tackle the highbrow literary theory known as "The Death of an Author"—and by "tackle," we mean we kind of bump into it, spill our coffee, and then pretend we know what we're talking about. Join us as we try to explain why the author's intentions may or may not matter. Is it deep? Sure. Is it helpful? Absolutely not.
