She was also among 150 public intellectuals who published an open letter inin July that argued "the free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted".

But the debate shifted from Rowling's social media presence to the page on Tuesday with the release of her new book. Critics have been quick to decry a plotline in the novel, the fifth in Rowling's Cormoran Strike series, in which a cross-dressing serial killer is a key suspect in a decades-old murder case. In one passage the character is described as "dark and stocky", wearing a wig and "padded out in a woman's coat".

Local publishers Hachette would not comment on the criticism and Rowling has not yet made any public remarks. But while some were penning online eulogies for Rowling's career, booksellers see blue skies ahead. by famously donning a sombrero and taking aim at the concept of cultural appropriation, Rowling doesn't seem to have lost her magic selling power.had been sent to local bookshops, making it the biggest Robert Galbraith release for Australia on record.

BroedeCarmody Despite? BECAUSE of her rational and well articulated views on the divisive, toxic identity cult, the book will be a bestseller here and around the world. There. Fixed it for you.

BroedeCarmody Outspoken?

BroedeCarmody Good

BroedeCarmody I hope not.

BroedeCarmody If it has a penis... it's a boy. If it has a vagina... it's a girl.

BroedeCarmody 'outspoken views'? jk_rowling's views on identity politics are sensible, rational and utterly correct. So, how about 'resolute defence of the bleeding obvious'? Cancel culture/Identity Politics is toxic, garbage; through and through.

BroedeCarmody Bad writing and too much marketing.
