Presented by 92nd Y: Join acclaimed novelist and poet Victoria Redel with Sarah Jessica Parker and editor Adam Moss for a conversation about Redel’s new novel, I Am You, published by Parker’s literary imprint, SJP Lit. Redel tells the story of one of the few female Dutch Masters painters, Maria van Oosterwijck, & the complex relationship she developed with her maidservant-turned-apprentice, Gerta Pieters.

Following these two women as they navigate the ranks of an elite, male-dominated art world, Redel weaves a story that Sarah Jessica Parker calls “impossible to forget”—a queer romance for the ages and an unforgettable love story set against the sensuous backdrop of the Dutch Golden Age. Praised by various novelists and authors, I Am You proves how art reshapes conversations on sexual politics, class, women’s rights, and how we tell and retell our histories.
