Singer-songwriter Neko Case narrates her memoir, and host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Leslie Fine discuss the way she brings to it a vitality and dynamism that give the listener a sense of actually being with her as she falls victim to manipulation by her mother, beginning at age 8. Case allows us to feel the tumult and trauma of impoverishment, neglect, and a steady stream of dislocations and relocations. The passion with which Case expresses her love of nature, horses, and music is palpable and centers listeners on what really matters, giving insights about the creative journey that led to Case’s albums and Grammy nominations. Case’s details are fresh and inventive.
