Stories as Webs

I loved these lines from Nnedi Okorafor's "Death of the Author" a book of metafiction that was very intriguing, despite sci-fi not being my thing:

"Author, art and audience all adore one another. They create a tissue, a web, a network. No death is required for this form of life.

Creation flows both ways."

Oooh, makes me think of "Entangled Life," about fungi and reciprocity, and connectedness and exchange ...

Okorafor also wrote, "Stories are what holds all things together. They make things matter, they make all things be, exist."
