The Night Circus

Erin Morgenstern may have been an unknown author just a few years ago, but she's burst onto the literary scene with her first novel, "The Night Circus."

Morgenstern's background in arts and performance gives her a unique perspective in bringing her characters to life. The Night Circus, as she would tell you, is not a traditional "big top" event by any means.

The story has attracted the attention of readers of all ages, and could be on the big screen sooner rather than later.

Morgenstern took time to talk with WSIU Radio's Jennifer Fuller, for this edition of "In the Author's Voice."

Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director. She will oversee the launch and operations of CNI’s new broadcast division.
