Barthes' essay shifts the focus from author's intent to the reader's role in interpreting texts, suggesting that a text's meaning is created by the reader rather than fixed by the author.

I wonder how this applies to non-literary texts or practical manuals.

I've always thought the author's background is important though.

This makes discussing literature so much more personal and subjective.

So according to this, every reader essentially 'rewrites' the piece?
