Max's Autumn of Mirage is a surreal, bittersweet journey into heartbreak, reinvention, and the circus lights that glow brightest after the darkest nights. Days before his wedding, Lorelai Gilmore ends things, leaving Max Medina-once a polished literature professor-adrift in a sea of half-packed boxes and cold coffee.
But instead of going back to the classroom, Max takes the road less traveled... all the way to a traveling Mexican circus.
Reborn under a velvet tent of danger and glitter, Max becomes El Poeta del Fuego, a sad-eyed clown who juggles machetes by moonlight and performs death-defying motorcycle stunts inside a flaming cage. Each act is a confession. Each spotlight, a reckoning. With every show, Max is rewriting what love, failure, and freedom really mean.
