Joseph Heller's World War II satire, Catch-22, poses the moral dilemma of how to remain sane in an insane world. When it was first published in 1961, the novel not only became a modern-day classic, but it also introduced the Catch-22 catchphrase into everyday vernacular. Joseph Heller's Catch-22, New Edition offers a varied selection of full-length essays, a detailed chronology, and a thorough index that provide an ideal critical companion for readers hoping to broaden their appreciation of Heller's modern masterpiece.

Industry Reviews

"Each attractive volume presents recent essays by noted critics who examine in detail aspects of a single literary work ... Highly recommended for academic collections."
"A scholarly and diverse analysis of a Mexican literary classic, recommended for college libraries and international literary study shelves."
"As always with Chelsea critical books, each volume contains the best of what has been written about the authors."
"Each essay is well-defined and laboriously researched, and each opinion is defended within its context...The book is a useful tool for students needing to examine the themes and context of Tolkien's work."
"Students preparing research papers and students boning up for class will reach eagerly for these well-designed additions to accessible literary criticism..."
