Description:
As I Know You, You Know Me by Yvonne Keuls is a beautiful, moving account of the deep friendship between the two great Dutch authors Yvonne Keuls and Hella Haasse.

With As I Know You, You Know Me, Yvonne Keuls offers a fascinating insight into the television world and the literary world of the sixties and seventies. The growing popularity of television and the emancipation of women are vividly described, as well as the generation in the Netherlands that misses 'the Indian life' so much.

As a young playwright, Yvonne Keuls admires the author Hella S. Haasse. She has read her books and goes to her lectures, but never dares to speak to her. Until she is approached by David Koning, head of the Drama department of the ncrv television, to make the first literary television adaptation. Hella Haasse becomes her literary advisor. It is the beginning of a turbulent time.

As I Know You, You Know Me by Yvonne Keuls is an ode to a special friendship between two writers who inspired each other but also went their own way because they remained true to their own beliefs – an intriguing story about Indian roots, writing and loyalty.
