I feel sorry for Ms. Morgenstern. What, you say, that’s crazy! She got an almost obscene advance for her very first novel with nary a writing credit to her name. The movie rights have already been sold (were sold before the book was published) to the makers of the Twilight movies. Rumor has it Harry Potter’s simply magical David Heyman will produce. What’s to feel sorry for?
Two reasons:
A) According to the Wall St. Journal, publishers, book sellers, movie producers, marketing gurus everywhere, and (not incidentally) readers, all think that The Night Circus will be the next Harry Potter!
and
B) I’ve read 49 pages of Night Circus. It’s not Harry Potter.
Hold up, wait a minute (put a little boom in it. . .). This is not a bad thing. Or a good thing. It’s just, well, a different thing.
