So. Alice Walker has forbidden the Hebrew translation and publication of her best-selling novel The Color Purple.
You can read her letter to her would-be Israeli publishers here.
While I don't agree with her position at all, I respect her honesty and determination to do what she thinks is right.
Stupid question though: What does she think the ban on the publication of her book(s) in Israel will accomplish politically? It's not like the Israelis will start dropping dead on the street after NOT reading The Color Purple, .
