Chicago’s historic Fine Arts Building and Exile in Bookville will present an evening in conversation with critically acclaimed Grammy-nominated musician and author Neko Case about her new memoir, The Harder I Fight the More I Love You, on Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the Studebaker Theater, 410 S. Michigan Ave.
According to a press release, “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.” It adds that the book “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—who, last year, identified as gender-fluid—has built a career with her 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 composing the musical theater adaptation of an Oscar-winning motion picture.
