  1. 1. Let's Talk About Love

    "Let's Talk About Love" is a deep dive into the world of pop culture, specifically focusing on the polarizing figure of Celine Dion. The author explores the reasons behind Dion's extreme popularity and equally extreme criticism, using her as a case study to delve into the nature of taste and cultural consumption. The book challenges readers to question their own biases and preconceived notions about 'good' and 'bad' music, and what these judgments say about societal class, race, and gender norms.
