Funny in a light-hearted, satirical way, Joe Campbells essays do not miss any of his social targets. From the multiculturality of chicken to the literary quality legislation, Campbell gleefully slides from one idea to another. Though his subjects are as Canadian as a boys dream to play in the NHL, or as universal as music, he always writes with a gently urbane edge showing the potential pitfalls and hilarity of clichéd dreams and ritualized customs.
