Explosive, subversive, wild and funny, 50 years on the novel's strength
is undiminished. Reading Joseph Heller's classic satire is nothing less
than a rite of passage. Set in the closing months of World War II,
this is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and
furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill
him.
His real problem is not the enemy - it is his own army
which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to
complete their service. If Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse
himself from the perilous missions then he is caught in Catch-22: if he
flies he is crazy, and doesn't have to; but if he doesn't want to he
must be sane and has to. That's some catch...
