About this Event

HEALTH & SAFETY: WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE WEAR A FACE MASK WHILE INDOORS FOR OUR EVENTS. THANK YOU.

Neko Case's songs are gorgeous and thrilling to listen to, although more often than not, the stories therein are tough and revealing. Not to be outdone by the quality of her music and lyrics, Neko has written a memoir, every bit as powerful as her songs.

In The Harder I Fight the More I Love You, Neko reveals her wrenching childhood spent in poverty and parental absence, her profound loneliness growing up, and the salvation that nature provided to her. Don't despair--if you think Neko's singing voice is powerful and strong enough to move mountains, her prose writing is equally stunning.

The Harder I Fight the More I Love You is often laugh out loud funny, and ultimately optimistic. It wouldn't be Neko Case without being edgy, gripping, unambiguously harrowing at times, and impossible to turn away from.

Kathleen Hanna is a punk singer, artist, and the front-woman of the influential bands Bikini K*ll and Le Tigre. Hanna is a staple in feminist publications, from college curriculums to bestselling books, and a leading voice in the punk feminist movement. She has been named one of the best live performers of our time. Her memoir, Rebel Girl, published by Ecco/HarperCollins, was an instant New York Times bestseller.
