Martha’s Vineyard can’t turn the page on Alan Dershowitz.

The Harvard Law professor and longtime island denizen says his works have been banished from the local book fair.

“I’ve been canceled,” Dershowitz, 84, told Newsmax host Greta Greta Van Susteren Friday. “My books are not allowed to be sold at the Martha’s Vineyard Chilmark book fair because I defended Donald Trump. Until I defended Donald Trump, my books were featured every year at the book fair.”

“I couldn’t care less about that,” Dershowitz quickly added. “I still sell thousands of books.”

Dershowitz proudly noted he was almost certainly the most prolific author in the history of Martha’s Vineyard and “probably sold more books than anybody who’s speaking at the book fair.”

While Dershowitz was once a fixture and popular draw in the liberal Massachusetts enclave, he became persona non grata among his neighbors after he served as counsel to former President Trump during his first impeachment hearing.

His subsequent appearances on Fox News and defenses of the thrice indicted president ex-prez have not helped repair the situation.

In June the local library canceled an appearance from Dershowitz, prompting him to threaten a lawsuit and he was once berated in a local Vineyard grocery store over Trump by comedian Larry David.

“Readers in Chilmark are being denied access to books by authors of whom the ‘book fair’ heads disapprove. It’s just another form of Chilmark censorship of politically incorrect books. I will fight that by giving free copies of my most recent book to anyone who wants to read it,” Dershowitz told The Post
