Critics Review
‘The Finch in my Brain is a memoir of startling originality, entirely devoid of self-pity. It’s a love story, a meditation on mortality and a humorous rumination about adventures in the film world’–Penny Woolcock
About The Author
Martino Sclavi
At the age of 10, Martino Sclavi and his family moved from Rome to New York. Knowing little English, he spent his time in school learning to sew and type, skills that have now become essential. After studying political science, he moved to Berlin and played bass for a Krautrock band while at the Humboldt and Freie Universitat. He completed his MA at Cambridge University, then moved to London where he mixed drinks in a bar in Brixton. After work, with his 35mm camera on his shoulder, he would wander the streets and tell the stories of his neighbourhood.
Sclavi became a producer for a variety of documentaries and films. He has previously written articles and screenplays, but The Finch in My Brain is the first project he has typed into his computer without being able to read it back.
Martino lives in London and Italy where he invents bedtime stories to carry his young son to his dreams.
