Episode 25: Can you separate the art from the artist?
This week, Danikka and Erin kick off a new series diving into the messy world of problematic authors. First up: The Death Of The Author and whether we can—or even should—separate the art from the artist.
They unpack the origins of both concepts, from 1960s philosophy to 2000s fandom culture, and why these ideas are still so relevant (and so contentious) in today’s book world. Can you still love a story when the author turns out to be awful? Is it enough to “separate the art from the artist”? Or are we just making excuses?
Expect a thoughtful but spicy start to a bigger conversation—this is just the beginning. (And yes, they do finally name the author everyone’s been side-eyeing since 2020. You know the one.)
