@@dipdo7675 I think you might do well to consider Israel a country not a religion. And both the native Israeli people and the native Palestinian people are considered Semite peoples.
When i was 15 (sixteen years ago) i wrote a short story as an assignment in school about a man's struggle with dementia. I handed it in, and the next day my teacher pulled me aside first thing in the morning all teary eyed and told me she was so moved by the story that she had been sobbing all yesterday's evening because my story had changed her perspective on her dad's dementia and it had helped her process her grief. And that's why I write.
@@laingcheesecake2898 Sadly, this happened so long ago i wouldn't even know where to find it. Or if i even got it back. Also, it was written in Swedish. I do recall the plot of it kind of. Old man wakes up in the morning to greet his wife, but finds her side of the bed empty. Then a lot happens after that about how he slowly picks up the pieces of his life, looks at photos of himself doing things he doesn't remember doing, and seeing people he's never met. In the kitchen he finds notes from his carers that he's got dementia, along with letters he's written to himself, and a shrine with the urn of his wife.
I just finished reading this book and normal people. She’s a very good writer. It almost feels like you’re reading a diary when characters have intimate conversations. It’s really hard to put down her books when she makes really honest characters. Can’t wait for her new book this September. She’s a great author!
This is my most favorite modern author. I fell in love with her first book. I love her introvert-melancholic writing...it suits my personality perfectly....I also enjoy conversations about society, interesting topics etc. in her books.
sally seems to get the same feeling writing a book that i get from journalling. Having somewhere to break down your emotions / experiences and then coming to a conclusion at the end. I love how her mind works, after reading normal people in less than a day, i bought her other two novels. Im so excited for this author, she seems to get me!
Absolutely love Sally. Confidence, talent, intelligence and humbleness mixed perfectly. She just seems to be someone you'd love to have as a friend. Well, at least I would. I was magnetically attracted to Normal People. It was immensely relatable and beautifully written.
when she talked about not wanting to make a point out of something readers always get from her books, it made me think about what Roland Barthes said on "death of the author", we tend to look for book's "true meaning" from who wrote them, but maybe it's about giving a place to the readers.. as Barthes said, "the unity of a text is not at its origin, but at its destination"
It could very well be both. I honestly appreciate both. Sometimes people can write more interesting things about a book, then the original author can and the fact that some authors don't realize that makes them look insular and small in my opinion.
Lovely interview and author. It's so interesting to see what each author/artist thinks and feels about their art, and how different it is from one person to another.
loved Conversations with Friends, very engaging thank you, for me, it captures quite nicely the relationship between creative, sensitive people and those possibly less so who are better stronger communicators.
Thank you Sally for your honesty about our Western society, the great failings of capitalism. Your honest reflections are refreshing. No doubt some who want to commodify you will try to pin you down and distort you due to your critique of our society but continue being true to the word, writing your way into the world.
Feeling you have a duty to right is how one justifies the compulsion to write which is necessary to actually complete anything. Duty is how one resolves "humility" with ambition and pride.
I think that people like to see how "it is possible to live" - but also been very aware that every structure could be changed . We are in a way unique and yet related and very much dependent of the culture we are part of. Maybe we just do as usually,- we learn into habits and routines, but we could choose to do the things differently - or just follow the norms of a group and culture that we are part of and yet at the same time free to do things differently. But just the ways we experience and the ways we can observe, can show us unlimited possibilities. How we are present, how open, how curious and how playfull and curageous we act, is something that cannot be predicted. I believe that humans mirror the life around them but also always with possibility of mirroring the dreams, the longing that is also part of the stuff life is made of. Change is very possible .... I
I love Conversations with Friends- it captures that time in your 20s when you really don't know what it's all about. When Frances self harms I want to enter the novel and give her a hug. Nick is so nice- but he is dishonest. The ambivalent relationship is harming Frances. She could waste years of her life with this man.....
I wish that people would not be offended by memories. I never really had my own little brother but there's 4 guys that were either friends little brother and a couple kids my mom babysat. All four I was protective of cause of my personal being a little brother story.
Supporters of Israeli govt bring up the subject of "other countries" committing violations of human rights ADMITT that Israeli govt is an OPPRESSIVE regime ( against Palestinians ) like China. But then, China has never claimed to be a Democracy (as described by western govts ). Also, do some believe that an individual's activism comes from religious/moral/personal beliefs or historical experiences? Ms Rooney is Irish and the Irish have suffered the yoke of Colonialism. Is it very difficult to understand her identification with suffering of PaleStinians whose land has been colonised?? That her country was divided up and that is what IsrAeli govt has done to PaleStine!! Would some as a supporter of IsrAeli govt (or Israeli state which has no borders) rather IsrAeli govt stopped its human rights violations with impunity, expropriating PalesTinian land and let them live in TOTAL freedom ( as ANY democratic govt would do) or NOT? If indeed that happened, there would be NO NEED for any action against IsrAel.
I think it's a bit ironic that she said she doesn't have a special brain. Like being prone towards being creative = having a more creative way of thinking. Being prone towards mathematics means you have a more mathematically inclined brain. So yes, it is special in that sense, doesn't make you a genius and it doesn't mean others can't learn or be good at it. I just think she's looking at it in the wrong way. Her writing is great though.
Some of us think you are earth-shakingly re-caliberating; some don't. What you said about taking characters on a journey enters into the nature of fictional pain; might come an age when authors would be censored for the degree of suffering, they are allowed to portray. If you think about it; a genius could hypnotize their entire readership into depression - picture that!
I thinknit was 2003 when I lost my interest in the media. It's not overall as diverce. It's really narrowly focused. It sounds like monotone and li I e Brian buzzella on drugs. Something I never saw in person so I'm just using a metaphor for something I don't rec
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us into His image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him, again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if YOU had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know xx
I loved normal people, I think SR has made a good point she hasn't lived enough, needs more experiences living in another country, I would love her to live in a communist country and see if she still looks at the world in a markist way, I've memories of ppl standing in line waiting for food, shops with nothing in them, capitalisim markets & socalist ideas can exist but in democracies only, it didn't work, it was miserable
I would kinda argue that there has never been a true communist country, because every time a communist country was made, all they really did was reshuffle the economy and create an oligarchy, -they didn’t take away class struggles, just changed them. And I agree, communism doesn’t work because it relies on the goodwill of all people involved.
@@alexrader5822 it didn't promote creativity, everyone had a job, but not doing what they wanted, ambition has got us were we are today but why would I study to be a doctor or engineer when the pay scales are all the same, I would argue that the friends that I have from former communist are more materialist & capitalist because they were denied it growing up, they crave latest gaget etc,
@@alexrader5822 many thanks Alex, I didn't live in a communist country I hear in Dublin rather travelled to Poland & Bulgaria for few weeks as a child, I have many friends from East block countries, I have a pal who grew up in East Berlin, they were encouraged to keep a file on the comings and goings of neighbours, it too the heat off them, what a culture of secrecy they lived in, but similar happen here during the troubles in northern Ireland, suspicion everywhere
oy vey. as if marxist analysis hasn’t been made of actually existing communism and in capitalist societies everyone is well-fed & warm & housed. spare us the Cold War propaganda please.
What is the fascination? Yeh, when I fell and broke my arm ( on both occasions) my first thought was not oh the pain but oh I must write about it. Eye roll sigh! She writes but she doesn’t know what she writes or how it came about. What????
@@eugenef.6143 Eugene, Sally Rooney has said she is a Marxist at least in principal which has passed off a lot of people who don't really understand Marxism. So then how could she be a neo-nazi which was diametrically opposite of Marxism. I think you should take some history lessons. In my opinion Sally Rooney is principled unlike the many people who have criticized her here.
This woman won't allow her latest novel to be translated into Hebrew by an Israeli publisher. I wonder what her next novel will be about? Perhaps it could be about the Irish Republican Armies links to Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
How refreshing to find someone with sanity and knowledge of the Irish history of supporting Nazis during WWII. It shows how stupid they were. The Nazis would have treated them no better than other conquered people. They would have killed the Catholic priests and other leaders who could ever give the Nazis any problems and made the rest of them slaves to Hitler's empire
@@georgeash4008 you like spiteful little remarks. The IRA did NOT exist in any shape or form during WW2, and even if they had existed it is extremely unlikely that they an illegal clandestine paramilitary organisation could have any sway with the all powerful, brutish NAZI's who at one point believed they were demi-Gods. Should Ireland be condemned for deciding on neutrality during WW2?
@@jamesdolan4042 I fear you don't like the fact we in the USA fought Hitler and you Irish did not. IRA commander Sean Russell died in a German U boat in 1940 on his way back to Ireland.
Boycotting Israel does not magically turn you into a "Nazi". And the IRA allied with the Nazis not because of their ideology but to use them to free Northern Ireland from English colonialization.
The next-generation Stephenie Meyer, with a dropleteen of Zadie Smith to make it more appealing to the Guardian subscribers. Replace Joseph Smith with a graphic novel about Karl Marx and sew elbow patches on a tweed jacket and here ye are, O modern readers.
She is not stephanie Meyer.. Stephanie Meyer didn’t publish any successful work after the twilight series.. sally is different.. she encompasses human emotion and psychological so beautifully in her stories. so please don’t compare. I loved the twilight series but they are just different
Ha we are doomed there is good literature out there there are people that write excellent pieces of work ive personally seen it but good luck getting it published awarded or worse yet read by anyone... people swallow crap like this whole. People like Sally rooney are perfect for today because of their pseudo intellectualism just enough to make the reader feel what they are reading is important (although it is regurgitating the same pop ideas you've heard a million times) but not too much because then it would take too much effort to read
Sally Rooney’s Hate Is the New Normal It is not easy to convince the Snapchat generation to read books. To do so, you must be a gifted writer and know which buttons to press in young people’s hearts. Sally Rooney, a young Irish author, is that kind of writer. Her first two books have won multiple awards and she is widely regarded as one of the most prominent voices of millennials. Rooney is also very opinionated. She is a self-proclaimed Marxist and an avid supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement (BDS). In line with her views, she has refused to sell translation rights to Israeli publishers. Because of her notoriety, her decision caused quite a stir. The New York Times stated, “Sally Rooney Declines to Sell Translation Rights to Israeli Publisher.” CNN echoed, “Sally Rooney refuses to sell Hebrew rights for latest book to Israeli publisher, citing political objections,” and other prominent news outlets also reported her decision. In response, Israel's two largest bookstore chains announced that they would pull all of Rooney's titles from their shelves. This also caused a stir, though not as much. The BBC reported it, as did The Guardian and other British news outlets. Naturally, the Jewish press was all over the case, as well. I sympathize with the response of the bookstore chains, just as I was in favor of banning other individuals and brands that boycott Israel. At the same time, I understand why they are doing this, and I am glad that it is causing a stir in Israel. We can look the other way for only so long. At some point, we will have to ask ourselves why the world hates us, and it is better if we do it now than later. We need to use such incidents constructively. By "constructively," I mean that we should use them as an impetus to return to the roots of our nation, to our fundamental principles of mutual responsibility and brotherly love. These are the building blocks of our nation, and these are the qualities that we lost long ago and for which we were exiled from Israel. When we were cast as a nation that was to be “a light unto nations,” we were made to reflect the splendor of love of others to the entire world. Long before we gave the world Albert Einstein and Arthur Rubenstein, we gave it “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Granted, we did not quite manage to make it a reality, but the idea itself was, and still is, so novel, so unlike human nature, that to this day it seems undoable. Still, the world will not leave us in peace until we begin to implement this very legacy we had left to humanity. Indeed, it makes perfect sense to demand that the progenitors of this sublime idea be the first to implement it. The more the world becomes divided and hostile, the more it needs its opposite - love of others. The more people hate each other, the more they will demand that we love each other, and they will hate us for not doing so and setting an example for the world to follow. In the near future, numerous celebrities, pundits, and politicians will declare their disapproval of Israel. They will not justify our existence as a sovereign state unless we justify it by setting an example of unity. Nothing else will satisfy them; nothing else will appease their hatred. For more on this, see my publication The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism...
@@nataliasomsedikova6161 Someone said that to me just yesterday--a fiction teacher. I am willing to believe it. But this interview is skin-crawlingly ghastly.
@@simiancinema2022 heed your instincts. They’re serviceable and enjoyable but her veneration is baffling and risible. To her credit it’s hard to gauge how much of her BS is sincere and you can hardly fault her for playing the game
She has said very, very openly that she looks forward to her new book being translated to Hebrew. She has also said that she does want a particular Israeli Publishing House to publish her new novel, because they do not acknowledge the Israeli Government's human rights violations against the Palestinians who live either in Gaza or the West Bank. In my view Sally Rooney did absolutely nothing that was anti Semitic.

I would kinda argue that there has never been a true communist country, because every time a communist country was made, all they really did was reshuffle the economy and create an oligarchy, -they didn’t take away class struggles, just changed them. And I agree, communism doesn’t work because it relies on the goodwill of all people involved.
@@alexrader5822 it didn't promote creativity, everyone had a job, but not doing what they wanted, ambition has got us were we are today but why would I study to be a doctor or engineer when the pay scales are all the same, I would argue that the friends that I have from former communist are more materialist & capitalist because they were denied it growing up, they crave latest gaget etc,
@@johanneflanagan2999 I love hearing your perspective from someone that has lived in a communist place. Thank you, lots to chew on.
@@alexrader5822 many thanks Alex, I didn't live in a communist country I hear in Dublin rather travelled to Poland & Bulgaria for few weeks as a child, I have many friends from East block countries, I have a pal who grew up in East Berlin, they were encouraged to keep a file on the comings and goings of neighbours, it too the heat off them, what a culture of secrecy they lived in, but similar happen here during the troubles in northern Ireland, suspicion everywhere
oy vey. as if marxist analysis hasn’t been made of actually existing communism and in capitalist societies everyone is well-fed & warm & housed. spare us the Cold War propaganda please.
What is the fascination? Yeh, when I fell and broke my arm ( on both occasions) my first thought was not oh the pain but oh I must write about it. Eye roll sigh! She writes but she doesn’t know what she writes or how it came about. What????
Bland narration of regular life, with a few naughty bits.

But why do you write so much about sex. And give such detailed graphic descriptions?
Normcore
All the weirdos want to be "normal" instead of embracing themselves for the beautiful beings they are.
Damn she’s got one of those Americanized Irish accents 😞
I see Marianne in her..
she looks like Caitrion Balfe's small sister 😄
She says "em" a lot.
And??
I heard nice things about Israel but who the hell is Sally Rooney?
Ah yes apartheid and ethnic cleansing and driving natives out of their land is good
It seems Eugene your world view is both out of context and narrow.
May be she is a neo-nazi?
@@eugenef.6143 Eugene, Sally Rooney has said she is a Marxist at least in principal which has passed off a lot of people who don't really understand Marxism. So then how could she be a neo-nazi which was diametrically opposite of Marxism. I think you should take some history lessons.
In my opinion Sally Rooney is principled unlike the many people who have criticized her here.
god she fine as hell
The Irish Eva Braun
This woman won't allow her latest novel to be translated into Hebrew by an Israeli publisher. I wonder what her next novel will be about? Perhaps it could be about the Irish Republican Armies links to Nazi Germany in the Second World War.
How refreshing to find someone with sanity and knowledge of the Irish history of supporting Nazis during WWII. It shows how stupid they were. The Nazis would have treated them no better than other conquered people. They would have killed the Catholic priests and other leaders who could ever give the Nazis any problems and made the rest of them slaves to Hitler's empire
@@jayjohnston1 You are completely right. If the Nazis had conquered Britain, including Northern Ireland, Southern Ireland would have been next.
@@georgeash4008 you like spiteful little remarks. The IRA did NOT exist in any shape or form during WW2, and even if they had existed it is extremely unlikely that they an illegal clandestine paramilitary organisation could have any sway with the all powerful, brutish NAZI's who at one point believed they were demi-Gods. Should Ireland be condemned for deciding on neutrality during WW2?
@@jamesdolan4042 I fear you don't like the fact we in the USA fought Hitler and you Irish did not. IRA commander Sean Russell died in a German U boat in 1940 on his way back to Ireland.
Boycotting Israel does not magically turn you into a "Nazi". And the IRA allied with the Nazis not because of their ideology but to use them to free Northern Ireland from English colonialization.
Criminally overrated writer.
Is "criminally" the best word you could have used, or are you implying something else!
Lol Marxist 🤦
The next-generation Stephenie Meyer, with a dropleteen of Zadie Smith to make it more appealing to the Guardian subscribers.
Replace Joseph Smith with a graphic novel about Karl Marx and sew elbow patches on a tweed jacket and here ye are, O modern readers.
I would love to know if she is a fan of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion? Perhaps she could translate it into the Irish language.
She is not stephanie Meyer.. Stephanie Meyer didn’t publish any successful work after the twilight series.. sally is different.. she encompasses human emotion and psychological so beautifully in her stories. so please don’t compare. I loved the twilight series but they are just different
@max What are you talking about?
@@morse1883 Mediocrity, what else?
Ha we are doomed there is good literature out there there are people that write excellent pieces of work ive personally seen it but good luck getting it published awarded or worse yet read by anyone... people swallow crap like this whole.
People like Sally rooney are perfect for today because of their pseudo intellectualism just enough to make the reader feel what they are reading is important (although it is regurgitating the same pop ideas you've heard a million times) but not too much because then it would take too much effort to read
Sally Rooney’s Hate Is the New Normal
It is not easy to convince the Snapchat generation to read books. To do so, you must be a gifted writer and know which buttons to press in young people’s hearts. Sally Rooney, a young Irish author, is that kind of writer. Her first two books have won multiple awards and she is widely regarded as one of the most prominent voices of millennials.
Rooney is also very opinionated. She is a self-proclaimed Marxist and an avid supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement (BDS). In line with her views, she has refused to sell translation rights to Israeli publishers. Because of her notoriety, her decision caused quite a stir. The New York Times stated, “Sally Rooney Declines to Sell Translation Rights to Israeli Publisher.” CNN echoed, “Sally Rooney refuses to sell Hebrew rights for latest book to Israeli publisher, citing political objections,” and other prominent news outlets also reported her decision.
In response, Israel's two largest bookstore chains announced that they would pull all of Rooney's titles from their shelves. This also caused a stir, though not as much. The BBC reported it, as did The Guardian and other British news outlets. Naturally, the Jewish press was all over the case, as well.
I sympathize with the response of the bookstore chains, just as I was in favor of banning other individuals and brands that boycott Israel. At the same time, I understand why they are doing this, and I am glad that it is causing a stir in Israel.
We can look the other way for only so long. At some point, we will have to ask ourselves why the world hates us, and it is better if we do it now than later.
We need to use such incidents constructively. By "constructively," I mean that we should use them as an impetus to return to the roots of our nation, to our fundamental principles of mutual responsibility and brotherly love. These are the building blocks of our nation, and these are the qualities that we lost long ago and for which we were exiled from Israel.
When we were cast as a nation that was to be “a light unto nations,” we were made to reflect the splendor of love of others to the entire world. Long before we gave the world Albert Einstein and Arthur Rubenstein, we gave it “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Granted, we did not quite manage to make it a reality, but the idea itself was, and still is, so novel, so unlike human nature, that to this day it seems undoable.
Still, the world will not leave us in peace until we begin to implement this very legacy we had left to humanity. Indeed, it makes perfect sense to demand that the progenitors of this sublime idea be the first to implement it.
The more the world becomes divided and hostile, the more it needs its opposite - love of others. The more people hate each other, the more they will demand that we love each other, and they will hate us for not doing so and setting an example for the world to follow.
In the near future, numerous celebrities, pundits, and politicians will declare their disapproval of Israel. They will not justify our existence as a sovereign state unless we justify it by setting an example of unity. Nothing else will satisfy them; nothing else will appease their hatred.
For more on this, see my publication The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism...
classic bs evasion of issue. endless chatter about humanity while ducking the oppression she decries. but thanks for the cross-eyed lecture.
Bad Faith hasbara from a settler-colonial apologist who thinks god is a real estate agent.
I can't imagine anything that would make me want to read this woman's novels less. Repellent.
Haha, what a loser
she is a great novelist.
@@nataliasomsedikova6161 Someone said that to me just yesterday--a fiction teacher. I am willing to believe it. But this interview is skin-crawlingly ghastly.
@@simiancinema2022 heed your instincts. They’re serviceable and enjoyable but her veneration is baffling and risible. To her credit it’s hard to gauge how much of her BS is sincere and you can hardly fault her for playing the game
What is it that you find your repellant about her? V curious.
She has a duty to stop writing
Time to cancel this woman for her anti-semitic beliefs?
Nah.
She has said very, very openly that she looks forward to her new book being translated to Hebrew. She has also said that she does want a particular Israeli Publishing House to publish her new novel, because they do not acknowledge the Israeli Government's human rights violations against the Palestinians who live either in Gaza or the West Bank. In my view Sally Rooney did absolutely nothing that was anti Semitic.
not for that, but because her books are shite.
almost as boring as mass
Catholic author looks all around the world…...at every country in the world
Hmmm?
Who can I boycott ?
I know!!!!!!!
Jews
😂
Shockingly average. not even in a bad way wow
