Signature

Sally Rooney (born 1990 or 1991) is an Irish author. She is best known for her novels Conversations with Friends (2017), Normal People (2018), Beautiful World, Where Are You (2021), and Intermezzo (2024). The first two works were adapted into the television miniseries Normal People (2020) and Conversations with Friends (2022).

Her novels have met with critical acclaim, sold millions of copies, and been translated into many languages. Normal People won the Costa Book Award and the Irish Book Award in 2018, and the Encore Award in 2019. She has also written several works of short fiction and poetry.

Rooney has called herself both a feminist and a Marxist, and much of her work addresses related topics. She is active in both political and social circles, regularly expressing her views on global topics, movements, and discussions. She is a prominent advocate of Palestinian liberation, and the Palestine Action group in particular, which has led to her being banned in the United Kingdom from public speaking and from receiving royalties for her works.

Early life and education

Rooney was born in Castlebar, County Mayo,[1] in 1990 or 1991, where she also grew up.[2] Her father, Kieran Rooney, worked for Telecom Éireann and her mother, Marie Farrell, ran an arts centre.[2][3][4] Rooney has an older brother and a younger sister.[2]

She studied English at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), where she was elected a scholar in 2011 and graduated with a BA in 2013.[5][better source needed]

While attending Trinity College Dublin, Rooney was a university debater and in 2013 became the top debater at the European Universities Debating Championships.[6][7] She has written about the experience.[8]

Career

Early career

Before becoming a writer, she worked for a restaurant in an administrative role.[9][10]

Rooney completed her first novel—which she has called "absolute trash"—at age 15.[11] Her first published works were two poems in The Stinging Fly, submitted to the magazine when she was in secondary school.[12] She began writing "constantly" in late 2014. She completed her debut novel, Conversations with Friends, while studying for her master's degree in American literature. She wrote 100,000 words of the book in three months.[11]

In 2015, her essay "Even If You Beat Me", about her time as the "top competitive debater on the continent of Europe", was seen by an agent, Tracy Bohan, of the Wylie Agency. Bohan contacted Rooney, but Rooney was hesitant to send her any new material at first.[4]

She had seen my story and wondered whether I had anything else she could read... But I didn't send her anything for ages... I don't know why. I didn't want her to see this shoddy draft.[9]

Rooney eventually sent Bohan a manuscript, and Bohan circulated it to publishers, receiving seven bids.[13][14]

Conversations with Friends (2017)

Rooney signed with Bohan and the Wylie Agency, and Conversations with Friends was subject to a seven-party auction for its publishing rights, which were eventually sold in 12 countries.[15][9] The novel was published in June 2017 by Faber & Faber. It was nominated for the 2018 Swansea University International Dylan Thomas Prize,[16] and the 2018 Folio Prize, and won the 2017 Sunday Times/Peters Fraser & Dunlop Young Writer of the Year Award.[17][18]

In March 2017, her short story "Mr Salary" was shortlisted for the Sunday Times Short Story Award.[19] In November 2017, Rooney was announced as editor of the Irish literary magazine The Stinging Fly.[12] She was a contributing writer to the magazine.[20] She oversaw the magazine's two issues in 2018, before handing the editorship over to Danny Denton.[21]

In 2018, Rooney was announced as taking part in the Cúirt International Festival of Literature.[22]

Normal People (2018)

Rooney's second novel, Normal People, was published in September 2018, also by Faber & Faber.[23][24] The novel grew out of Rooney's exploration of the history between the two main characters of her short story "At the Clinic", which was first published in London-based literary magazine The White Review in 2016.[25][26] In July 2018, Normal People was longlisted for that year's Man Booker Prize.[27] On 27 November 2018, the work won "Irish Novel of the Year" at the Irish Book Awards[28] and was named Waterstones' Book of the Year for 2018.[29] In January 2019, it won the Costa Book Award (formerly the Whitbread) for the Novel category.[30][31] It was longlisted for the 2019 Dylan Thomas Prize[32] and the 2019 Women's Prize for Fiction.[33] It has been translated into 46 languages and earned praise from Barack Obama and Taylor Swift, among others.[34]

Television adaptations

Normal People was made into a 12-part series as a co-production of BBC Three and the online platform Hulu, with filming taking place in Dublin and County Sligo.[35] The series was directed by Lenny Abrahamson and Hettie Macdonald. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal played Marianne and Connell, respectively. The series was a critical success and earned four Primetime Emmy Award nominations including for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series, and Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series.[36]

In May 2022, Conversations with Friends was also made into a 12-episode BBC Three/Hulu miniseries,[37][38] by the same creative team behind Normal People, including director Lenny Abrahamson and co-writer Alice Birch.[39][40]

Beautiful World, Where Are You (2021)

In April 2019, the New York Public Library's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers announced its 2019 class of fellows, which included Rooney. The press release read, "she will be writing a new novel under the working title Beautiful World, Where Are You, examining aesthetics and political crisis."[41] The novel was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in the United States and by Faber in the UK and Ireland in September 2021.[42][43][44] She did not accept any options to adapt the novel, finding the other adaptations and discourse around the Normal People TV show in particular had taken her away from her desired focus on books.[45]

Intermezzo (2024)

Rooney's fourth novel, Intermezzo, was released in September 2024. The novel focuses on the complicated relationship between two brothers dealing with grief after their father's death. Central themes include an exploration of complicated family dynamics and the expectations of romantic relationships.[46][47][48][49][50]

Intermezzo won the 2025 Sky Arts Award for literature. Rooney did not accept the award in person, saying she had been advised against entering the United Kingdom because her support for Palestine Action put her at risk of arrest.[51][52]

Reception and sales

Rooney novels have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, with literary commentators regarding her as one of the foremost millennial writers. By around 2019, her novels had been translated into over 47 languages.[53][54][55] The feminist themes in Rooney's works have made them popular in China, where they have been best sellers.[56][57]

In 2022, Time named her among the 100 most influential people in the world.[58]

By October 2024, her novels had sold more than 6 million copies worldwide,[59]

Awards

Political views

Rooney describes herself as a feminist and a Marxist;[65][66][34] both her parents are socialists and instilled socialist values in Rooney.[4][67] Rooney has said that her work has a Marxist character, and noted that her characters tend to live in economically precarious conditions despite often being college-educated.[68]

During the 2018 referendum on the legality of abortion in Ireland, Rooney campaigned for a Yes vote.[4][69]

Support for Palestine

Rooney supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which promotes boycotts, divestments, and economic sanctions against Israel in order to force the Israeli government to withdraw from the occupied territories and grant Palestinians full equality, among other demands. Her first two books were translated into Hebrew by the Israeli publisher Modan, but Rooney denied their request to translate Beautiful World, Where Are You, as Modan did not comply with the demands of BDS,[70][71] having published books for the Israeli Defense Ministry.[72][a] Two Israeli bookshop chains announced the withdrawal of all Rooney titles from their shelves;[75] Modan continued to sell the two it had translated.[76] In a letter organised by Artists for Palestine UK, 70 writers and publishers, including Kevin Barry, Rachel Kushner, Geoff Dyer, Pankaj Mishra, Carmen Callil, and Ahdaf Soueif, supported Rooney's decision.[77] In October 2024, Rooney signed an open letter pledging not to work with Israeli cultural institutions.[78]

In June 2025, Rooney praised Palestine Action after its members broke into RAF Brize Norton and sprayed the engines of two Airbus A330 MRTT tankers with red paint, and criticised the British Government's intention to define the group as a terrorist organisation.[79] She supported a Palestine Action co-founder's attempt in the High Court to block the government's ban before it came into effect on 5 July 2025 in a written submission to the court, in which she called herself a "committed supporter".[80] Ultimately, the British government banned Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act in July 2025.[81] The ban prevented her from speaking at future public events in the United Kingdom.[82] Rooney said in November 2025 that Element Pictures, the production company behind her BBC adaptations, had cautioned her that it would be illegal for it to make royalty payments to her if she used or was suspected of using the money to support the group.[83][84]

In May 2026, it was announced that Intermezzo would be published in Hebrew translation by November Books, +972 Magazine, and Local Call, all deemed compliant with BDS.[72] In October 2026, Rooney announced that her books would be removed from sale in the UK owing to her support for Palestine Action.[85][86] Faber said that they had taken the decision in consultation with Rooney, and that it would be "unconscionable" to sell her work and not be allowed to pass on earnings on it.[87][88]

Personal life

Rooney studied in Dublin and spent time in New York City.[34] Since then and as of August 2021 Rooney has lived in her childhood hometown of Castlebar. She married John Prasifka, a mathematics teacher.[34][89]

Rooney's books also discuss social class through her characters: 'The people that I write about tend to be precariously situated in the economy.

In 1984, a shop worker in a Dublin supermarket, a young woman named Mary Manning, refused to handle the sale of grapefruit from Apartheid South Africa. As a result of her refusal, she was suspended from her job, and along with other members of her union, she went on strike. Their strike lasted for nearly three years, and finally succeeded in driving the Irish government to implement a complete national ban on imported fruit and vegetables from South Africa. Theirs was the example I had in mind in 2021 when I made my own belated decision to join the boycott investment and sanctions movement, and refused to work with Israeli organisations complicit in apartheid. Mary Manning and her colleagues, thank you. Mary Manning and her colleagues used their work to stand up. against injustice, and I wanted in my own very small way to try to do the same. Together, we can and must identify the weak points in the machinery of genocide and apply all the pressure that we can through litigation, through industrial action, media work, consumer boycotts, direct action, and more. I know that by speaking out, we may end up out of favour with the media, and, indeed, perhaps in trouble with the increasingly repressive architecture of authoritarian law. But I would like to ask my fellow writers and artists, if I may, not to dwell too exclusively on what we stand to lose. There is another more important side to the story. to join in something greater than ourselves, to participate in some small way in a struggle for human liberation. To stand for what we know in our hearts is right, and try not to be complicit in what we know is wrong. What else can make our lives endurable in times as dark as these? What else, in the face of such horror, can give us a reason to go on, to fend off despair, to live with ourselves, and to fight for our future. No matter the consequences. For those of us living at the heart of empire, those of us who have the extraordinary privilege of a public platform, it is not a question of paying a price, on the contrary. We should see and say that it is the honour of our lives to stand with Palestine. Thank you.

1984년, 더블린의 한 슈퍼마켓에서 일하던 젊은 여성 메리 매닝(Mary Manning)은 아파르트헤이트(인종차별 정책) 체제하의 남아프리카공화국에서 수입된 자몽 판매를 거부했습니다. 이 일로 그녀는 정직 처분을 받았고, 동료 노조원들과 함께 파업에 돌입했습니다. 거의 3년간 이어진 파업 끝에, 그들은 결국 아일랜드 정부가 남아프리카공화국산 과일과 채소의 수입을 전면 금지하도록 이끌어냈습니다. 2021년, 제가 뒤늦게나마 ‘보이콧, 투자 철회, 제재(BDS)’ 운동에 동참하기로 결심하고 아파르트헤이트에 가담한 이스라엘 기관들과의 협력을 거부했을 때, 저는 바로 이들의 사례를 떠올렸습니다. 메리 매닝과 그녀의 동료들에게 감사를 전합니다. 그들은 자신의 노동 현장에서 불의에 맞섰고, 저 또한 아주 작은 방식이나마 그와 같은 길을 걷고자 했습니다. 우리는 함께 힘을 모아 집단학살(제노사이드)이라는 기계 장치의 취약점을 찾아내야 하며, 소송, 노동 쟁의, 언론 활동, 소비자 불매운동, 직접 행동 등 가능한 모든 수단을 동원해 압박을 가해야 합니다. 목소리를 높이는 과정에서 언론의 외면을 받을 수도 있고, 점점 더 억압적으로 변해가는 권위주의적 법 체계 속에서 곤경에 처할 수도 있다는 점을 잘 알고 있습니다. 하지만 동료 작가와 예술가 여러분께 감히 부탁드리고 싶습니다. 우리가 잃을지도 모르는 것들에만 너무 매몰되지 말아 달라고 말입니다. 이 이야기에는 훨씬 더 중요한 측면이 있습니다. 바로 우리 자신보다 더 큰 무언가에 동참하고, 인류 해방을 위한 투쟁에 작게나마 기여하는 것입니다. 마음속으로 옳다고 믿는 가치를 옹호하고, 잘못된 일에 가담하지 않으려 노력하는 것 말입니다. 이토록 어두운 시대에, 무엇이 우리의 삶을 그나마 견딜 만한 것으로 만들어 줄 수 있을까요? 이토록 끔찍한 현실 앞에서, 무엇이 우리에게 계속 나아갈 이유를 주고, 절망을 물리치며, 스스로에게 부끄럽지 않게 살아가고, 미래를 위해 싸울 힘을 줄 수 있을까요? 그 결과가 무엇이든 상관없습니다. 제국(패권 국가)의 중심부에 살고 있으며, 대중에게 목소리를 전달할 수 있는 특별한 특권을 누리는 우리에게, 이는 단순히 ‘대가를 치르는’ 문제와는 차원이 다른 이야기입니다. 우리는 팔레스타인과 함께 서는 것이 우리 삶의 영광임을 인식하고, 또 그렇게 말해야 합니다. 감사합니다.

인텔 메조는 2025년 스카이 예술상 ( 문화 부문 ) 을 수상했다. 자신의 팔레스타인 액션 ( 영어판 ) 에 대한 지지를 이유로 하는 체포의 위험으로부터, 영국에의 입국을 피해야 한다는 조언을 받아, 상을 대면으로 받지 않았다 [ 58 ] [ 59 ] . 2026년 10월에는 인텔메조를 포함한 자저는 향후 영국 국내의 서점에서 판매되지 않을 것을 발표했다(후술) [ 60 ] .

루니의 작품에 있어서의 페미니스트적인 주제는, 그 작품이 베스트셀러가 되고 있는 중국 에서의 인기의 요인이 되고 있다 [ 67 ] [ 68 ] .

아일랜드의 중절합법성에 관한 2018년 국민투표 ( 영어판 ) 에서는 찬성표를 모으는 캠페인을 실시했다 [ 10 ] [ 69 ] .

팔레스타인 지원

팔레스타인 주도의 보이콧, 투자 철수, 제재 (BDS) 운동에 대한 지지를 이유로 이스라엘의 출판사로부터 '아름다운 세계는 어디에'의 히브리어 로 번역의 제안을 거절했다 [ 70 ] [ 71 ] . 2021년 10월에 “새로운 소설의 히브리어로의 번역권은 아직 취득 가능하고, BDS 운동의 제도적인 보이콧 가이드라인에 준거한 형태로 이 권리를 판매하는 방법을 발견하면 매우 기쁘고, 그렇게 하는 것을 자랑스럽게 생각할 것”이라고 말했다 [ 72 ] . 보복 조치로서 이스라엘의 서점 체인 2사는 11월 초순에 루니의 모든 저서를 선반에서 철거한다고 발표했다 [ 73 ] . 루니의 이스라엘 출판사는 저서를 계속 판매한다고 말했다 [ 74 ] . 그 후, 팔레스타인을 위한 예술가 UK(Artists for Palestine UK)가 정리한 서한 속에서, 케빈 배리(영문판), 레이첼 쿠슈너 ( 영문판 ) , 제프 다이어 ( 영문판 ) , 판 카지 미 슐라 ( 영어판 ) , 카르멘 카릴 ( 영어판 ) , 아프다프 스에이프 ( 영어판 ) 를 포함한 70명의 작가, 출판사가, 루니의 결정을 지지한다고 말했다 [ 75 ] . 2024년 10월, 루니를 포함한 5500명이 넘는 작가가 이스라엘의 문화기관과 협력하지 않을 것을 맹세하는 공개서한에 서명했다 [ 76 ] .

2025년 6월, 팔레스타인 액션 ( 영어판 ) 의 멤버가 영국 공군 브라이즈 노턴 기지에 침입 ( 영어판 ) , 2기 에어 버스 A330 MRTT 의 엔진에 붉은 페인트를 불어 넣은 것을 칭찬하고, 팔레스타인 액션의 비폭력적인 전술과 영국 정부가 이스라엘에게 준 정보와 장비의 지원을 대비시켜 ​​이 그룹을 테러 조직으로 금지하려는 영국 정부의 의혹을 비판했다. 암네스티 인터내셔널 은 이스라엘이 “ 대량 학살을 실시: 지금도 계속하고 있다”고 결론 내리고 있다. 루니는 영국 정부가 “대량 학살을 국가로 지원하고 있다”고 비난하고 “항의를 위해 법률을 깨는 용기가 있는 사람들은 (중략) 최고의 경의에 걸릴 것”이라고 썼다 [ 77 ] . 7월 5일 발효 전에 정부의 금지령을 저지하기 위해 팔레스타인 액션의 공동 창설자가 고등법원 에서 일으킨 소송을 지지했다. 법원에 제출한 서면 가운데는 자신을 동그룹의 ‘열심한 지지자’라고 표현하고 앞으로도 작가활동에 의한 수익을 동단체에 대한 재정지원에 충당할 것이라고 말했다 [ 78 ] . "자신의 신조를 숨기거나 거짓말을 하면 양심의 저책을 느끼지 못할 수 없다" 때문에 이번 금지조치는 향후 영국의 공공장소에서 강연에 참여할 수 없게 될 것이라고 말했다 [ 79 ] . 최종적으로 영국 정부는 테러리즘법 2006(영국) ( 영어판 ) 에 근거하여 팔레스타인 액션을 금지하는 것이 가능해졌다 [ 80 ] .

2025년 11월에 팔레스타인 액션 금지조치에 대한 소송에서 고등법원에 제출한 진술서 중 BBC의 드라마화 작품을 제작하고 있는 엘리먼트 픽처스 ( 영어판 ) 로부터 그녀가 받은 자금을 동단체의 지원에 사용하는 것이 밝혀지거나 의심되었을 경우 저작권료 이 경고를 받은 이후 팔레스타인 액션 활동이 금지되어 있는 동안 페이버앤페이버사나 BBC가 저작권료를 합법적으로 지불할 수 있을지 몰랐다. 그러므로 자신의 신작은 영국에서는 출판할 수 없고, 기존 작품도 가능성으로 영국 시장에서 끌어올릴 수밖에 없게 되는 것은 “거의 확실”이고 만약 그것이 현실이 되면 “예술 표현의 영역에 국가에 의한 확실히 중대한 침해로서 기억될 것 ” 이라고 말했다 [ 82 ] . 또한 환경 문제와 관련하여 '재산의 파괴를 포함한' 직접적인 행동을 이전부터 지지하고 있었고, 팔레스타인인의 억압에 관해서도 유사한 행동을 지지하는 것은 '이론적이다'라고 말했다 [ 81 ] .

2026년 10월 15일에는 팔레스타인 액션을 지지하고 있는 것이 이유로, 자저를 앞으로도 출판하는 것이 중대한 범죄행위로 인정될 가능성이 있기 때문에, 향후는 영국 국내의 서점에 저서를 공급하지 않는 것으로 출판사의 페이버와 합의했다고 발표했다 [ 60 ] .
