Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported15m ago
Irish author Sally Rooney is no longer able to sell her books in the United Kingdom following a decision by her publisher, Faber. The publisher stated that this development is a direct result of Rooney's public support for the activist group Palestine Action.
The restriction follows Rooney's vocal alignment with the organization, which has faced recent scrutiny. The publisher confirmed the cessation of sales on Wednesday, marking a significant intersection between the author's political advocacy and the commercial distribution of her literary works within the UK market.
