I would argue that's not the case. The entire concept of "reality" is left to the individual in post-modern thought. I think eliminating the notion of authorship would be a solidly post-modern position to take.

Do you have a citation for that? I've seen that as a cartoon of postmodernism, but I don't think I've ever seen a postmodernist scholar claim that.
