The bestselling author of "Eat, Pray, Love" is pulling her forthcoming book from publication after facing online backlash, which is baffling the literary community.
Elizabeth Gilbert said Monday that she has removed her upcoming release "The Snow Forest" from its publication schedule indefinitely out of respect for victims of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
"Last week I announced the upcoming publication of my most recent book called 'The Snow Forest,'" she began the video posted to social media on Monday. Gilbert set the novel in mid-20th century Siberia and it followed a group of people who removed themselves from society to resist the Soviet government and industrialization.
