Feltham Made Me by Paolo Sedazzari
The poet Richard F. Burton likened the truth to a large mirror, shattered into millions upon millions of pieces. Each of us owns a piece of that mirror, believing our one piece to be the whole truth. But you only get to see the whole truth when we put all the pieces together. This is the concept behind Feltham Made Me. It is the story of three lads growing up together in the suburbs of London, put together from the transcripts of many hours of interviews. Most of the material has come directly from the three men - Dermott Collins, Peter Wyatt and Jerry Zmuda. But I have also included interviews with their teachers, parents, friends, enemies, work-mates and chance acquaintances. As each character in Feltham Made Me takes over the narrative baton with their own individual spin, we hear differing, often conflicting, accounts of the same incident. Who is telling the truth? Neither? Or both? Often our own distortions and exaggerations reveal another truth about ourselves.
Paolo has worked in media sales, as a journalist, a film-maker and a promoter of raves. His debut feature film, the black comedy horror The Toybox, was released on DVD to some critical acclaim, and is available for viewing for free (and legally) on www.hulu.com . Recent work includes Everyone's Wally a biographical documentary about Wally Hope the founder of the Stonehenge free festivals, who died under mysterious circumstances in 1975. The BMX Kid & the River Cult Murders is his first crime novel, based on a real life murder case and drawing on his experiences of working at the court house of Walton-on-Thames. Paolo lives in West London with his wife, Sarah, and two cats - Dougie and Tallulah.
