Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones Support ‘Normal People’ Author Sally Rooney After U.K. Bans Her Books: She’s a ‘Writer, Not a Terrorist’

Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones have signed an open letter to the U.K. government supporting author Sally Rooney after her books were banned. Joined by Jessie Buckley, Alison Oliver, Jonathan Glazer, and Armando Iannucci, the stars defended the Normal People author, asserting she is a writer, not a terrorist.
