Loving Music Till It Hurts by William Cheng

Listening, Affect, and the Politics of Pain

This thought-provoking exploration delves into the complex relationship between music and the emotional, physical, and social experiences it evokes. It examines the paradox of how music, often seen as a source of joy and healing, can also lead to pain, obsession, and exclusion. Through a series of compelling narratives and critical analyses, the book challenges readers to reconsider the cultural and personal implications of their musical engagements, highlighting the fine line between passion and harm in the pursuit of musical fulfillment.
