Product Information
For his 2007 critically acclaimed 33 1/3 series title, Let's Talk About Love , Carl Wilson went on a quest to find his inner C.line Dion fan and explore how we define ourselves by what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate. ..At once among the most widely beloved and most reviled and lampooned pop stars of the past few decades, C.line Dion's critics call her mawkish and overblown while millions of fans around the world adore her huge pipes and even bigger feelings. How can anyone say which side is right? ..This new, expanded edition goes even further, calling on thirteen prominent writers and musicians to respond to themes ranging from sentiment and kitsch to cultural capital and musical snobbery. The original text is followed by lively arguments and stories from Nick Hornby, Krist Novoselic, Ann Powers, Mary Gaitskill, James Franco, Sheila Heti and others. ..In a new afterword, Carl Wilson examines recent cultural changes in love and hate, including the impact of technology and social media on how taste works (or doesn't) in the 21st century.

Along with being a tremendously important piece of criticism, Let's Talk About Love is an agile, moving, and generous exploration of the music that accompanies us, welcome or not, on the travels we all need to make on our own.

Elias Leight, LA Review of Books "…the recently updated Let's Talk About Love -cheekily re-subtitled Why Other People Have Such Bad Taste and bundled with a host of excellent accompanying essays from the book's admirers including Krist Novoselic, Nick Hornby, Ann Powers, and James Franco-is a welcome excuse to revisit the main text in light of our current state of hyperspeed discourse. It's also a good excuse to catch up with Wilson, who continues to be an essential voice in the rock writer community while serving as Slate's music critic." Ryan Dombal, Pitchfork, " Let's Talk About Love… is not just a critical study of one Céline Dion album, but an engaging discussion of pop criticism itself."
