Various websites have suggested that the 2012 Bollywood film Jab Tak Hai Jaan might have drawn inspiration from the novel.[8][9]
The Italian band Daisy Chains has released an album titled A Story Has No Beginning or End, which is the first line of the novel, and the album's second track is titled "The End of the Affair".[10]
The book also inspired the 2014 song "End of the Affair" by English singer-songwriter Ben Howard, from his album I Forget Where We Were.
The book was the inspiration for the 2020 song "The End of the Affair" by Laura Marling on her album Song for Our Daughter.
