Carl Wilson is a Canadian music critic who has written for many publications including The Globe and Mail. He writes wonderful long thought-pieces on music for Slate.

Best known for his classic book Let's Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste, published in Continuum's 33 1/3 series, Wilson unpacks the claims of that book in terms of contemporary trends in music.

Let's Talk About Love is putatively a critique of Celine Dion's bestselling album Let's Talk About Love, but it's more accurately an act of self-reflection and cultural analysis that gives a robust language for understanding what's at stake when we litigate taste.
