Neko Case Looked Back At Her Childhood In Order To Move Forward

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jan 28, 2025

Singer-songwriter Neko Case is known for her beautiful voice and her fierce and haunting lyrics that convey emotional truths. In her new memoir, The Harder I Fight, the More I Love You, she charts her evolution from being "raised by two dogs and a space heater" in rural Washington state by two teenage parents, to becoming an internationally acclaimed musician. She discusses her book as well as her latest project, writing songs for a musical theater adaptation of "Thelma and Louise." 

*Neko Case will be in conversation with Emma Straub at Books Are Magic tonight at 7.
