Eh. "Death of the Author" is a reaction to the text not being dispositive as to what the author meant. It's deciding you don't care what the author meant, no longer considering it a problem that the text doesn't reveal that. Instead the text means whatever you can argue it means. Which can be a fun game, but is ultimately pointless.
