Last Thursday, Victoria Redel spoke at Porter Square Books, Cambridge, Mass., with author Claire Messud about her new novel, I Am You (SJP Lit), which Sarah Jessica Parker said "masterfully evokes the rich period of Golden Age Amsterdam and the centrality of its artists. Against this vivid and brilliantly detailed backdrop, the story of a female painter and her assistant comes to life, captivating us with its insights on time, art, sexual politics, class, women's rights, and how we tell and retell our histories. It is spellbinding, wonderfully atmospheric, and impossible to forget."
