Agatha Christie novels edited to remove offensive references to Jews – Comments deleted include Hercule Poirot’s description of a character as “a Jew, of course” in crime caper, ‚The Mysterious Affair at Styles‘ | Jewish News
Publisher HarperCollins has revised multiple novels by the famed British mystery writer Agatha Christie to remove references to Jews and other minorities deemed offensive by sensitivity readers.
The edits add Christie to a growing list of authors whose work is getting tweaked for contemporary audiences. Roald Dahl, the children’s book author whose family recently apologised for his antisemitism, also had versions of his books recently revised to eliminate potentially offensive language.
