Publisher Faber has confirmed it will stop supplying Sally Rooney's books in the UK, saying it cannot pay royalties to the Irish author because of her pledge to support Palestine Action, which is banned in Britain. The standoff has drawn attention in publishing and literary circles, with readers debating the implications for Rooney's bestselling novels and for authors taking a public stand on political causes.
Why now: A major publisher halting supply of one of the world's most prominent novelists' books over a politically charged royalty dispute is highly unusual and controversial.
