Carl Wilson

This book is a riveting investigation of what it means to love music and what it means to hate music, both of good taste and bad taste.

A Journey to the End of Taste

Celine Dion's Let's Talk About Love

This was so much more than I could’ve ever expected it to be. It would be so easy to take potshots at an “easy” target, but Wilson actually and earnestly considers the question: is Celine Dion any good? In doing so, he winds up teaching the reader about the history of Quebec music and culture, examining concepts of local and international culture and status, and tumbling down a philosophical wormhole into the self. 

This is easily one of the most fascinating pieces of cultural analysis/criticism I have ever read.
