Unless you read some relatively-arcane journals or Canadian periodicals, you've probably never heard of Joe Campbell. Eric Scheske has long enjoyed Mr. Campbell's essays for *[Gilbert Magazine](http://www.gilbertmagazine.com/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)*. For those who don't subscribe, you're missing one of the more unique voices in North America.

A father of nine and a pedestrian who has never owned a car or drivers license, Campbell is a funny writer with a different perspective on culture, politics, and everyday living. A collection of his essays has now been published: *[Take Me Out of the Ball Game](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1894345827/thedailyeudem-20?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)*. We haven't seen it yet, but if it's as good as his *GM* essays, it'll be worth the price.

From a review of the book by David Paul Deavel in the most-recent *Gilbert Magazine*:

> Campbell's willing to play the clown perhaps masks a seriousness at the heart of his writing. Like Chesterton he seems to grow more jocular as he plumbs the depths of life.
