'I couldn’t put it down because I couldn’t put it down.'
John Cooper Clarke  August 2015

'A Great Debut That Deals With The Joys and Pains of Growing Up' Irvine Welsh April 2016

'Crafty Cigarette, all things Mod  and a dash of anarchy. Want to remember what it was like to be young and angry? Buy this book. A great read' Phil Davis (Actor Chalky in Quadrophenia) August 2016



A Crafty Cigarette is the powerful story of a teenager coming of age in the 70s as seen through his eyes, who on the cusp of adulthood, discovers a band that is new to him, which leads him into becoming a Mod.

A mischievous youth prone to naughtiness, he takes to mod like a moth to a flame, which in turn gives him a voice, confidence and a fresh new outlook towards life, his family, his school friends, girls and the world in general.

‘Written in first person narrative, in a style and delivery reminiscent of Hunter S Thompson’

Scootering Magazine

It’s a good book and an easy read. That’s pretty much what most pulp fiction needs to be’

Mod Culture

‘A coming of age story, ‘A Crafty Cigarette’ maybe Matteo Sedazzari’s debut novel but it’s an impressive story’

Vive Le Rock

‘Like a good Paul Weller concert the novel leaves you wanting more. I’ll be very interested in reading whatever Matteo Sedazzari writes next.’

Louder Than War

‘For a debut, Sedazzari has most certainly left a memorable impression with a story that readers from any background and any culture will find themselves enjoying’
