Sally Rooney novels pulled from Israeli bookstores after translation boycott

Following the acclaimed author's decision not to have Beautiful World, Where Are You translated by an Israeli publisher, two major retailers have removed her work from their shelves

Books by Sally Rooney will no longer be sold in two Israeli bookshop chains, after the acclaimed writer's decision not to sell translation rights for her most recent novel to an Israeli publisher.

Rooney's novels were previously available from Steimatzky and Tzomet Sefarim, but the books have now been removed from their websites, and will be pulled from physical shops too. The retailers have more than 200 branches between them.
