THE HARDER I FIGHT THE MORE I LOVE YOU is a hell of an origin story: heartbreaking and funny, brave and weird, hard to swallow and impossible to put down.
— Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author

Case comes to McCarter for her latest book tour and will be in conversation with Princeton University's A.M. HomesAuthor and Professor of the Practice in the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing.

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.  

From a beloved Grammy-nominated musician, a “heartbreaking and funny” memoir of a poverty-stricken childhood, obsessive desires, and indispensable friendships that reflects on the way art and music and a deep connection to nature guided her journey towards stardom (Maggie Smith, NYT bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful).  

A copy of The Harder I Fight the More I Love You is included with ticket purchase.
