Sally Rooney is setting the record straight about her decision ⤵️
“I was very proud to have my previous two novels translated into Hebrew…. Likewise, it would be an honor for me to have my latest novel translated into Hebrew and available to Hebrew-language readers,” Rooney shared in the new statement publicized by her agent. “But for the moment, I have chosen not to sell these translation rights to an Israeli-based publishing house.”
“Israel’s system of racial domination and segregation against Palestinians meets the definition of apartheid under international law,” Rooney’s statement continued. “The [BDS] movement is a Palestinian-led, anti-racist, and nonviolent grassroots campaign calling for an economic and cultural boycott of complicit Israeli companies and institutions in response to the apartheid system and other grave human rights violations….
Leaders of the BDS movement applauded Rooney for the boycott. “Rooney joins countless international authors in supporting the institutional cultural boycott of Israel’s complicit publishing sector, just as progressive artists once supported the boycott of apartheid South Africa,” said the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel.
