Neko Case will be joined in conversation with A.M. Homes to discuss her memoir of a poverty-stricken childhood, obsessive desires, and indispensable friendships. A copy of The Harder I Fight the More I Love You is included with ticket purchase. Tickets are available here.

Neko Case has long been revered as one of music’s most influential artists, whose authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics, musicians, and lifelong fans. In The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You, Case brings her trademark candor and precision to a memoir that 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.

This memoir 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.

Singer, songwriter, music producer, visual artist, and writer Neko Case has built a career with her distinctive style and musical versatility. In addition to her numerous critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated solo records, Case is a founding member of The New Pornographers. She authors the newsletter ‘Entering The Lung’ and is currently composing the musical theater adaptation of an Academy Award winning motion picture. A.M. Homes’ most recent book is The Unfolding. Her many previous works include This Book Will Save Your Life, winner of the 2013 Orange/Women’s Prize for Fiction, the short-story collection Days of Awe, and the bestselling memoir, The Mistress’s Daughter. She is a Professor in the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing.

This event is presented in collaboration with McCarter Theatre and The Princeton Public Library.
