Opinion of Agatha Christie

[Gustaf]

I like Christie. I remember there are some politically unpleasant things in the earlier novels but I can't help being a little charmed by the old school-conservatism. I think accusing her of racism is a tad anachronistic and not something I'd hold against the books.

I did a search and got some examples. Thing is, most of them are pretty benign. As in, yes, they're orientalist and in the modern era we would criticize it of course. But most of it isn't hateful. Even today, I'd think of someone saying this as naive rather than evil. But I may have missed the worst examples.
