Description
“One of the most original, amazing stories I've ever read” (Mary Gaitskill), iconic rock-and-roll musician
Adele Bertei’s memoir Twist is her harrowing and electric story of transforming trauma through art, pluck,
and imagination, as told through the inimitable voice of her young alter ego, Maddie Twist. From
iconoclastic writer and musician Adele Bertei comes a wholly original hero's journey that wages war on the
cliché of the “misery memoir.” Set in a 1960s and ’70s American neighborhood rife with poverty and
violence, fatherless Irish mothers and Italian mobsters, and women crucified into madness by misogyny,
Bertei speaks through her electrically alive avatar Maddie Twist to flip the victim script. Through her
unshakable belief in imagination, poetry, music, and community, she transforms trauma into survival. The
immediacy of Maddie’s voice is a revelation, providing insight into long-enduring systemic problems
without the scrim of adult analysis. In an age of lies and obfuscation, Twist is a sharp yet tender arrow to the
heart of naked truth. Bertei reveals what it's like to be a queer teen at a time when discovery could be fatal.
Maddie peers deeply into the American psyche, refusing to consent to the systems of harm. Along the way
we encounter an unforgettable schizophrenic mother, Catholic saints, West Side Story and Oliver!, poet
killers, the abyss of rape, girl-gangsters and faux-pimps, teenage lesbian sex, racial tensions and
misconceived divides, a drag family known as the Holy Maudlins, Vietnam vets in dark and light, cabaret,
true family, rock and roll. And the ultimate saving grace: love. A compelling personal history of queer
culture from a working-class view and a glimpse into worlds yet unseen, Twist is good medicine: for readers
who've experienced similar traumas, for teens caught in the foster care system, for the formerly incarcerated
looking for hope, for writers grappling with how to tell their own stories. Most of all, it’s for everyone
seeking transportive experiences in art and on the page.
