Yay.

Failing to divorce the author from his work is a mark of decadence.

Nah, all works of art can never be fully divested from the author themselves, since every culminated experience that moulded the person was streamed through them into there creations, and without that augmentation they are little more than collections of thoughts and experiences, but with, they become palpable objects, easily traded and observed by other people. Art is just an aspect of the aithor represented in a tangible form.
