Sally Rooney Books Withdrawn in UK Over Political Support
Sally Rooney Books Withdrawn in UK Over Political Support
Irish novelist Sally Rooney and her publisher Faber have mutually decided to halt the distribution of her books throughout the United Kingdom. This drastic step was taken because Rooney publicly vowed to continue financing Palestine Action, a group that the British government officially classified as a terrorist organization in 2025. Consequently, continuing to sell her literature and transfer financial earnings could potentially violate strict local criminal laws. While digital formats have been swiftly removed, bookstores are currently permitted to sell their existing inventory of physical copies.
