Endless Night

Curator Reviews

Christopher Bollen

Endless Night, about two young lovers of different classes who seem to be cursed, was written in 1967. It’s fascinating to watch Christie in her later years, writing about the young, trying to reckon with the cultural revolution that drastically transformed the social milieu which she chronicled so successfully in earlier eras. Sometimes—and understandably so—her attempts come off a little clunky and tin-eared. But in Endless Night she does achieve a sort of bizarre love triangle that hints at a more permissive age.
