Let's Talk about Love

A Journey to the End of Taste
Book • 2007
This book, part of the 33⅓ series, is not just a critique of Celine Dion's album but an exploration of what it means to have 'taste' in music.

Wilson examines his own biases and the broader cultural context, drawing on theorists like Pierre Bourdieu, Immanuel Kant, and others.

The book questions elitist cultural biases and the status-seeking inherent in expressions of taste, making it a significant study of pop criticism and aesthetic models.
