Postmodernist reflection of the Death of the Author in the novel "The author does not die, he does it"

In the new critique of the author's dominance of the text. Roland Barth was a prominent structuralist And put forward the theory of the author's death. Barth rejects the traditional view that the author is the source of the text, the source of meaning, and the only person competent for interpretation. In this theory, the author's death is equal to the birth of the reader Because meaning is not at the source of the text And at the text destination. So if we consider the source as "author" and the destination as "reader" Meaning is formed at the destination. Thus, in this theory of creator work, the focus is no longer influential. Rather, it is the work itself Which at any time, being read or seen, means production by the audience. In the present study, the novel "The author does not die" by Hassan Farhangi has been investigated based on the author's "death theory". The results show that the author in this novel, as a postmodern novel of tricks the power of authority and choice to give to the reader, disobedience and character conflict with the author and finally finding the power of the character, emphasis is placed on storytelling, intertextuality, integration, and the blending of the author's real life with the fictional life of the characters. And introduce the novel as a postmodernist novel with an emphasis on the author's theory of death. All of these tricks reduce the text's central author And emphasize the role of the reader.
