Sally Rooney

Sally Rooney (born 20 February 1991) is an Irish author and screenwriter. Quotes In July 2025, the direct-action protest group Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK. The following month, I wrote an opinion piece expressing my intention to go on supporting Palestine Action, which is not a proscribed or otherwise prohibited group here in the Republic of Ireland.As a result, the fulfilment of contracts to publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence. After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK. I have made every effort to be honest with the public about my beliefs and intentions, and I am wholly prepared to accept the consequences. Statement to The Guardian, as cited in "Sally Rooney says she can no longer sell books in UK due to Palestine Action support", The Guardian (14 October 2026). The article ("opinion piece") Rooney mentions was published by The Irish Times on 16 August 2025. Beautiful World, Where Are You (2021) What if the meaning of life on earth is not eternal progress towards some unspecified goal – the engineering and production of more complex and abstruse cultural forms? What if these things just rise and recede naturally, like tides, while the meaning of life remains the same always – just to live and be with other people?
