I’m not sure what specifically you mean by “this premise”. Would the Dark Tower series by Stephen King count? That’s the first work of literature that I’m aware of that had a sort of anti-Death of the Author (Resurrection of the Author?) as an actual plot point.
(For extra meta, the guy who came up with the term ‘death of the author’ was Roland Barthes.)
