Publisher's Summary
Non-fans regard Celine 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 is nothing cool about Celine Dion, and nothing clever. That is 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 Celine 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.

What the Critics Say
"Brilliant." (Alex Ross, author of The Rest Is Noise)
"An important study - not just of Dion and pop music but also of the changing nature of criticism in the popular realm." (Bookforum)
"A book pondering the aesthetics of Celine risks going wrong in about 3,000 different ways.... Instead, this book goes very deeply right." (Sam Anderson, New York Magazine)
