Carl Wilson (critic)

Carl Wilson is a Canadian cultural critic. He works for The Globe and Mail and started the Zoilus blog.[1]

He is most well known for his book Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste.[2] It was published in the Continuum’s 33⅓ series. Though set up as a critique of Celine Dion's album Let's Talk about Love, Wilson attempts to critique himself and music criticism in general. In 2014, an expanded version of Let's Talk About Love was released, featuring essays by, among others, James Franco, Mary Gaitskill, Nick Hornby, and Krist Novoselic. [3]

Following the book's success, he appeared as a guest on the television show The Colbert Report.[4]
