Sally Rooney is an Irish writer whose four novels have made her one of the most talked-about authors of her generation. Her debut, Conversations with Friends (2017), established her style: spare prose, sharp dialogue, and close attention to the power dynamics in relationships between young, educated people. Normal People (2018) became an international bestseller and was adapted into a hugely popular television series.
Her later novels, Beautiful World, Where Are You (2021) and Intermezzo (2024), have continued to explore intimacy, class, and communication, while expanding her range. Rooney is also known for her Marxist politics and has been open about her views on publishing and capitalism.
