Iconic underground rock and roll musician Adele Bertei tells her harrowing story of transforming trauma through art and it’s all told through the voice of Adele’s young alter ego Maddie Twist in her book Twist: An American Girl. One reviewer calls the book a dark, demented, horrific and a hilarious shot to the heart of American girlhood.

Adele survived a childhood many wouldn’t and only came out stronger. Dysfunctional parents, poverty, stints in the foster system, her struggles with her sexuality, living on the streets and troubles with the law. It’s a gripping story that draws you in and keeps you there right until the end. Adele will talk about the book and the real-life stories that end up in this book. I also asked Adele about her band The Bloods - the first rock and roll band of gay women who publicly came out, plus her work with Brian Eno, Thomas Dolby, Tears for Fears and more!
