Agatha Christie Novels Purged of 'Offensive' Language in Sensitivity Edit
TL;DR
HarperCollins will publish new editions of some of Agatha Christie's novels with potentially offensive language removed or revised at the suggestion of sensitivity readers. The changes involve removing references to ethnicity and terms including "Gypsy," "Oriental," "Nubian," "natives," and the N-word. Some edits are more subtle, and the move is likely to prove controversial, as was the case with similar changes made to books by Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl.
