Nights at the Circus is a novel by British writer Angela Carter, first published in 1984 and the winner of the 1984 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. The novel focuses on the life and exploits of Sophie Fevvers, a woman who is – or so she would have people believe – a Cockney virgin, hatched from an egg laid by unknown parents and ready to develop fully fledged wings. At the time of the story, she has become a celebrated aerialiste, and she captivates the young journalist Jack Walser, who runs away with the circus and falls into a world that his journalistic exploits had not prepared him to encounter.

  • Notti al circo è un romanzo di Angela Carter, pubblicato nel 1984 e vincitore, nello stesso anno, del James Tait Black Memorial Prize. La protagonista del romanzo è Fevvers, una ragazza londinese o, meglio "cockney", che non conosce i propri genitori e che è - o vuol farci credere di essere – vergine. La storia si svolge nel 1899, anno in cui Fevvers è ormai una famosa trapezista, un'artista sensazionale e sorprendente, che, durante un'intervista, cattura l'attenzione del giovane giornalista Jack Walser. Egli decide così di seguire il circo, finendo per prendervi parte e ritrovandosi in un mondo che nessuna delle sue esperienze giornalistiche lo aveva preparato a incontrare. (it)
