NEKO CASE KICKS OFF FALL US TOUR + AMERICANAFEST PERFORMANCE NEXT WEEK

NEW MEMOIR
‘THE HARDER I FIGHT THE MORE I LOVE YOU’
WRITTEN BY NEKO CASE

COMING JANUARY 28, 2025

Early Praise For ‘The Harder I Fight The More I Love You’:

"This book reads, and feels, as if you are on a porch with an old friend, telling you stories you've heard a hundred times, but cannot wait to hear once more." —Hanif Abdurraqib, author of the National Book Award finalist, Little Devil in America

"This is a fierce, funny, moving memoir that will break your heart and patch it back up. Case's writing is as piercing and beautiful as her gorgeous singing and will carry you away completely." —New York Times bestselling author Susan Orlean

“...a hell of an origin story: heartbreaking and funny, brave and weird, hard to swallow and impossible to put down. Neko Case has been my favorite singer-songwriter for many years, hands down, and now she’s written one of my favorite memoirs.” —Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful

Beginning next week on September 18, Neko Case will embark on a monthlong US headlining tour that will traverse across the East coast and Midwest and will feature a special performance closing out the ANTI- Records 25th Anniversary Showcase at Americanafest in Nashville.

Case recently announced ’The Harder I Fight The More I Love You‘, her debut book in which she brings her trademark candor and precision to memoir. Tracing 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, 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.  

Of her memoir, Case said, “I hope my story will cast a spell of love, invite everyone inside, and smash the illusion that we have no connection to each other.” Acquired by Hachette Publishing, ‘The Harder I Fight The More I Love You’ comes out January 28, 2025. Available for pre-order HERE in hardcover, e-Book and an audiobook read by Case.

Neko Case has long been revered as one of music’s most influential artists, whose lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics, musicians, and lifelong fans. In addition to her numerous critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated solo records, Case is a founding member of The New Pornographers. She authors the Substack newsletter “Entering the Lung” and is currently composing the musical theater adaptation of an Academy Award winning motion picture.
