I could easily carry it around in my pocket. And for a significant fraction of my life, I had bad taste in a completely unreconstructed way. But critic Colin Wilson decided to do something a little different. In chapters 5-8 of Let’s Talk About Love by Carl Wilson, they talked more about Canadian pop artist Celine Dion and why she has received the attention she’s gained. But he has the same anxiety about it that everyone has. I won’t push back harder.
You made me want to read both Wilson and more of you. It’s a pretty tiny book. Most elite consumers of culture are omnivores.

Very nicely done. I am seriously tempted to carry it with me everywhere for the rest of my life, just like Napoleon is reputed to have done with The Sorrows of Young Werther. He’s one of my all-time favorites. Prescriptive based on descriptive is good, I think.

b(A�0BJ���0ʨ1�o^2���!�c��>L�:XW1. While reading chapters 1-4 of Let’s Talk About Love by Carl Wilson, I came across a quote from chapter one that really stuck out to me. Have you read it? En 2007, Continuum publia le cinquante-deuxième volume de la collec - tion 331/3 encensée par la critique. letstalk_int.indd 6 22/02/16 16:57. Very few emotional effects are more vilified than the sentimental, and very few emotional effects are so detrimental to a work’s odds of being considered a high-quality, durable work of art. Wilson’s aim is to examine taste. Let's Talk About Love: Why Other People Have Such Bad Taste by Carl Wilson I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve been lurking around here for a while now-I think your stuff is excellent. It also reminded me of my favorite navel-gazingish examination of ‘taste,’ “An Experiment in Criticism” by CS Lewis. His chapters on Celine’s background and place in Canadian culture are interesting, and I found much to think about in his intermediate chapters (which are a more generalized discussion of aesthetics), but concluding chapters (on the the elements of her appeal) are masterful.
Maybe I should’ve been following Wilson’s example. Awesome! Jesus, a guy works for a year to boil the whole of aesthetics down to 150 pages, and you want me to summarize it in a paragraph? By crowing about it, I’m making a pretty naked ploy to increase my relative social status by showing off the wide range of my reading. As he writes: “If I was trying to learn to love Celine Dion’s music, then perhaps my experiment was too tyrannical.
If respect or simple fairness were denied you, you’d build a great life (the best revenge)” Page 8, Paragraph 2. Bearing the the last name ‘Rear’ comes with a lot of degrading jokes and harassment. We just have to … try at least … to explain why we came to those judgments, otherwise they aren’t much use to other people. This is the album that contained the Titanic theme song “My Heart Will Go On”. I’d never even heard of “An Experiment in Criticism”, but I have been meaning to check out some of C.S. More times than not I choose to let my actions talk for me. As a music critic, Wilson’s stock in trade is his good taste. My story–“The Snake King Sells Out”–is in this month’s issue of Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show. CARL WILSON LET’S TALK ABOUT LOVE pourquoi les autres ont-ils si mauvais goût traduction de suzy borello l e m o t e t l e r e s t e 2016 letstalk_int.indd 5 22/02/16 16:57 .
Suffice it to say, Wilson gets something out of the whole endeavor. Sam. I think the good/bad dichotomy is especially hard to escape. In fact, I want to put it in the running for being the best book I’ve ever read. He remains adamant about what he perceives as the characteristics of Celine’s music–sentimentality, a lack of innovation, and a lack of cultural (and self) awareness. His solution is to spend one hundred and fifty pages teasing out every element of Celine’s possible appeal and of his own distaste. If respect or simple fairness were denied you, you’d build a great life (the best revenge)” Page 8, Paragraph 2. I guess I’m not the best at expressing my emotions or communicating. I love that Wilson never falls down the rabbit-hole of total subjectivity. Pourquoi les autres ont-ils si mauvais goût ?, Let's Talk About Love, Carl Wilson, Le Mot Et Le Reste. My love for this book certainly has a social dimension. I guess I can consider myself to be a humble and passive person, I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt and treat them with respect.
As he puts it: “The virtuosity that cool audiences today applaud, the sort Celine always fumbles, is not about having a multioctave voice or flamenco-fast fingers: It’s about being able to manipulate signs and symbols, to hitch them up and decouple them in a blink of an eye, to quote Homer but in the voice of Homer Simpson.”. The kind of contempt that’s mobilized by “cool” taste is inimical to that sympathy, to an aesthetics that might support a good public life.”. In genre fiction, this divide is between the innovative, well-written genre fiction that we’re supposed to write (Ted Chiang, Jeff Vandermeer, Kelly Link, etc) and the mass-market stuff that we’re supposed to repudiate (David Weber, Terry Goodkind, L. Ron Hubbard, etc.). The reason that MFA programs do not encourage their students to publish. And he doesn’t fall into the trap of saying, “Well, everything is worthwhile if you think about it hard enough.” No, he retains a kind of objectivity (and a kind of belief in artistic quality) while still learning to perceive (and, sort of, appreciate) the ways in which Celine’s music is good. Hi Rahul- He writes some great stuff that I tried for awhile to summarize, but couldn’t. I’ll be great because it’s a fact and the evidence is there, without any words.
However, I think that Wilson correctly notes that the taste is no longer bound by genres (the book is full of great ancillary observations about art and the art world). Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey To The End Of Taste, by Carl Wilson, My story–“The Snake King Sells Out”–is in this month’s issue of Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show, How I would try to get a story published in the New Yorker (if my dream was to be published in the New Yorker), The first step to gaining friends is to stop hanging out with people you don't actually like, Your friends probably won't be there for you when you most desperately need someone's help.

Lewis’ nonfiction work. Some SF fans will, perhaps, try to connect this to endless (and endlessly tedious) debate about genre fiction and literary fiction.
