“What Is An Author?” by Michael Foucault analyzes what it means, simply, to be an author. His purpose for writing this seems to be to inform others what it means to be an author. He uses many other pieces of writing to show the history of how authoring came to be. He connected with reader well in the sense that the pieces of writing he chose to analyze were well-known. My analytical question that I was pondering while reading this text was simply how someone is determined an author if they do a more creative style of “authoring.” In this text, however, it was not answered the way I hoped it would be. He discussed through other writings from other authors what it meant to be an author. Foucault analyzed what an author is when it comes to written text.
