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 Celine
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, Celine 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.
