Introduction to Catch 22 |
|
Joseph Heller, is regarded as one
of the greatest American novelists of the twentieth century. "He began his writing career as the author of short stories but won immediate acclaim with Catch-22
in 1961. A protest novel underscored with dark humor, Catch-22 satirises the horrors of war and the power of modern society, especially bureaucratic institutions, to destroy the human spirit."
