About the Author

Carl Wilson is a renowned Canadian music critic, author, and cultural commentator whose insightful explorations of popular music and taste have reshaped contemporary discourse on aesthetics and emotion. Best known for his groundbreaking book 'Let's Talk About Love: Why Other People Have Such Bad Taste,' Wilson embarks on a personal journey through Celine Dion's polarizing oeuvre to interrogate why certain artists captivate millions while repelling others, blending rigorous analysis with wry humor and self-reflection. A former senior editor at The Village Voice and contributor to Pitchfork and The New York Times, he continues to write on the intersections of music, identity, and society, advocating for a more empathetic understanding of cultural preferences in an increasingly fragmented media landscape.
