Product Description

This book is a riveting investigation of what it means to love music and what it means to hate music, both of good and bad taste.Non-fans regard Celine Dion as ersatz and plastic, yet to those who love her, no one could be more real, with her impoverished childhood, her manager-husband's struggle with cancer, her knack for howling out raw emotion. There's nothing cool about Celine Dion, and nothing clever. That's part of her appeal as an object of love or hatred - with most critics and committed music fans taking pleasure (or at least geeky solace) in their lofty contempt. This book documents Carl Wilson's brave and unprecedented year-long quest to find his inner Celine Dion fan, and explores how we define ourselves in the light of what we call good and bad, what we love and what we hate.

5.0 out of 5 stars the end of taste is a very good place to visit, Jan 2 2008

By	Evan W (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

This is exceptionally thoughtful criticism worked into a compelling personal narrative about how experience and judgment shape and reshape each other. It's full of easy intelligence and openness, depth of research and commitment. An inspiring and surprisingly moving work. I'd italicize the "surprisingly" if I could; who would have thought? I wish more art criticism was this good. Actually, I wish more books that I read were this good.
