Great post, John. Now the authorial intent people need to come up with
a reading that they can identify as authorial intent, and defend it. Or
offer a counterexample.
Don't hold your breath.

Jim, john didn'y say there was no authorial intent just that he couldn't
discern it in the example he presented, which to his credit he didn't deny
just said it was not important to him. Ok fair, but never the less it
exists despite any inability to discern or care about it.
On second thought you win and in the true french tradition I throw down my
Katana and raise up my arms. How are we to answer you? You can now pour
your meaning into my words, wait a minute, your words now since I have made
them orphans by clicking the send button and you have adopted them by
clicking in your in-box. Who am I to tell you how to raise your children
now? Poor Kafka, all his fecundity is only an illusion.
