"A beautiful, moving queer coming-of-age memoir set in Alaska with a narrative voice that is funny, sensitive and emotionally sharp. For fans of Garrard Conley, Garth Greenwell and Brandon Taylor" - Naheed Phiroze Patel, author of Mirror Made of Rain
"Frank and insightful... An affecting and surprising remembrance about the responsibilities of parents and children." - Kirkus Reviews
"Like no other book I have read. It will entertain you as it crushes you." - Martha Amore, author/editor of In the Quiet Season and Building Fires in the Snow
"[An] inspirational story of resilience and fortitude." - Chelsea News New York
"Quirky humor, bright language, and sharp emotional insight." - Joe Okonkwo, author of Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction winner Jazz Moon
"Depictions of working-class, poverty-level Alaska [that] counterbalance the usual tropes of Alaska as a sublime wilderness." - Anchorage Daily News
"More than another coming-of-age story. It is a love letter to his mother, Abby, a lively woman, who navigates the world with humor and humility, doing her best with the hand she was dealt, both for herself and the son she so clearly adores." - Lucian Childs, author of Dreaming Home
**A Lambda Literary Most Anticipated Read**
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
The debut memoir from Matthew Frye-Castillo, a college Lecturer in New York City, will inspire and thrill you even as it voyages beautifully through life's harshest truths.
ONE HEADLIGHT: A MEMOIR (Cirque Press; August 6, 2021; paperback) is the story of a devoted single mother raising her would-be pastor son around Lazy Mountain, Alaska, in a church-donated Mustang with no snow tires, a missing passenger window, and one headlight.
Frye-Castillo's tales of religious extremism, sex work, and class conflict have been published in numerous literary journals, including Epiphany, OPOSSUM, and Best Gay Stories. In 2021, his story on moving to Manhattan was featured in the Netflix series Worn Stories.
Whatever your background, ONE HEADLIGHT is a deeply human book that will move readers for its insightful, honest, and poetic depictions of class, race, sexuality, family, love, and memory. ONE HEADLIGHT will especially resonate with those who have lost a loved one to cancer, who are interested in the craft of memoir, coming-of-age stories, parent-child relationships, Alaskan cultures, or LGBTQ+ literature.
MATTHEW FRYE-CASTILLO is an Alaskan/NYC creative writer and Lecturer in the English Department of Lehman College, City University of New York. His essays, criticism, poetry, and fiction have appeared in Chicken Soup for the Soul, The Anchorage Daily News, The Paris Review Daily, Lambda Literary, Epiphany: a Literary Journal, OPOSSUM, Best Gay Stories, and Newtown Literary. As a journalist, he was a regular contributor to The Anchorage Press and The Red Hook Star-Revue. He holds an MFA from Hunter College and studied at Columbia University and The University of Alaska, Anchorage. He lives in Astoria, Queens, with his partner.

Droit de rétractation
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
