Faber stops supplying Sally Rooney books in the UK

Original: 'Faber has confirmed it will stop supplying Sally Rooney's books in the UK...after announcing that UK legislation meant

Publisher Faber has confirmed it will stop supplying Sally Rooney's books in the UK. The company said UK legislation meant it could no longer pass on earnings from sales to the Irish author, following her public support for Palestine Action, which is banned in Britain under anti-terror laws. The move has drawn attention among readers and writers, with debate over the legal position of authors linked to the proscribed group.
