Neko Case Shares Her Journey: 'The Harder I Fight the More I Love You'
From singer, songwriter, music producer, visual artist, and writer Neko Case comes The Harder I Fight the More I Love You, a memoir of a poverty-stricken childhood, obsessive desires, and indispensable friendships. Reflecting on the ways art, music, and nature have guided her journey, Case traces her evolution from an invisible girl “raised by two dogs and a space heater” in rural Washington state to her improbable emergence as an internationally-acclaimed talent.
Case has long been revered as one of music’s most influential artists, whose authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to critics, musicians, and fans. In addition to her critically-acclaimed and GRAMMY-nominated solo records, Case is a founding member of The New Pornographers. She currently authors the Substack newsletter “Entering the Lung.”
The Harder I Fight the More I Love You is a rebellious meditation on identity and corruption, and a manifesto on how to make space for ourselves in this world, despite the obstacles we face. Case will be in conversation with Hanna Rosin, a senior editor at The Atlantic, host of “Radio Atlantic,” and the author of The End of Men.
