Celine Dion's Let's Talk about Love: A Journey to the End of Taste - Paperback
by Carl Wilson (Author)
Non-fans regard C line Dion as ersatz and plastic, yet to those who love her, no one could be more real, with her impoverished childhood, her (creepy) manager-husband's struggle with cancer, her knack for howling out raw emotion. There's nothing cool about C line 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 C line 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.
