About this product

Product Information

One of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read and a highly touted Hulu series starring George Clooney, Christopher Abbott, Kyle Chandler, and Hugh Laurie. One of the funniest books ever written, Joseph Heller's masterpiece about a bomber squadron in the Second World War's Italian theater features a gallery of magnificently strange characters seething with comic energy. The malingering hero, Yossarian, is endlessly inventive in his schemes to save his skin from the horrible chances of war, and his story is studded with incidents and devices (including the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade and the hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule that gives the book its title) that propel the narrative in a headlong satiric rush. But the reason Catch-22 's satire never weakens and its jokes never date stems not from the comedy itself but from the savage, unerring, Swiftian indignation out of which that comedy springs. This fractured anti-epic, with all its aggrieved humanity, has given us the most enduring image we have of modern warfare. This hardcover Everyman's Library edition includes an introduction by Malcolm Bradbury, a chronology of the author's life and times, and a select bibliography. It is printed on acid-free paper, with sewn bindings, full-cloth covers, foil stamping, and a silk ribbon marker.

"Vulgarly, savagely, bitterly funny . . . A dazzling performance." -THE NEW YORK TIMES "An extraordinary book . . . of enormous richness and art, of deep thought and brilliant writing." -THE SPECTATOR "Below its hilarity, so wild that it hurts, Catch-22 is the strongest repudiation of our civilization, in fiction, to come out of World War II." -THE NATION "An original. There's no book like it anyone has read . . . Heller is carrying his reader on a more consistent voyage through Hell than any American writer before him." -Norman Mailer "Explosive, subversive, brilliant . . . One of the most bitterly funny books in the language." -THE NEW REPUBLIC, "Vulgarly, savagely, bitterly funny . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • One of America's Best

    Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is one of THEE defining novels of American literature. Humorous but remoresless it is a despairing novel about plain bombardiers; tragic and comedic in the same paragraph (sometimes in the very same sentence) it shows the true duality of both American life - life in general actually - and that of Joseph Heller's terrific narrative prose. One of the best novels, written by one of America's best writers, Catch-22 redefined American literature. Along with Vonnegut, Heller helped usher in a despairingly funny black bleak writing that is affecting numerous writers to this day. Heller's black comedy, along with Vonnegut can still be seen today in writers such as Chuck Palanchiuk, Brent Albree, and Allen Goure. Catch-22 makes a terrific addition to any home library, ...
