WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HOWARD JACOBSON

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 in an American bomber squadron off the coast of Italy, Catch-22 is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never even met keep trying to kill him. Joseph Heller''s bestselling novel is a hilarious and tragic satire on military madness, and the tale of one man''s efforts to survive it.

Industry Reviews

"It is a rare book in that it has the ability to make you laugh out loud and be deeply moved within a few pages." -- Adam Staten * British Journal of General Practice * "Wildly original, brutally gruesome, a dazzling performance that will outrage as many readers as it delights. Vulgarly, bitterly, savagely funny, it will not be forgotten by those who can take it" * New York Times * "Blessedly, monstrously, bloatedly, cynically funny, and fantastically unique. No one has ever written a book like this" * Financial Times * "Not only the best novel to come out of the war but the best novel to come out of anywhere in years" * The Nation * "The greatest satirical work in the English language since EREHWON" -- Philip Tonybee * Observer *
