ViolinknitterSo I finished Death of the Author the other night, and I think Iโm a little angry about the ending
Supposedly it turns out the robot Ankara has been writing Zeluโs narrative instead of the other way around, yes?
Except that makes very little sense narratively with the story we just read
I love how the dust cover for Death of the Author hides a Rusted Robots cover underneath

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!

Kind of a "spring cleaning" month of various titles that have lived too long on my shelves!

Damian Yerrick"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.
