Sally Rooney's UK publisher has ended its relationship with the Irish author over her support for Palestine Action, the activist group, Al Jazeera English reported. Rooney had requested that her books not be sold in Israel and called for a boycott of the country, aligning herself with the pro-Palestinian movement.
The decision means Rooney's works are no longer available through standard UK distribution channels. The author has faced criticism from some quarters for her stance, while supporters have defended her right to take a political position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
