What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Faber stopped supplying Sally Rooney's works in the U.K. citing political reasons. Rooney stated that her support for Palestine Action, a group proscribed as a terrorist organization in the U.K., meant that fulfilling publishing contracts could constitute a serious criminal offense. Faber confirmed the ban has led to circumstances where it cannot pass on U.K. earnings to Rooney.
