Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923 – December 12, 1999) was an American satirical novelist, short story writer and playwright. He wrote the influential novel Catch-22 about American servicemen during World War II. The title of this work entered the English lexicon to refer to absurd, no-win choices, particularly in situations in which the desired outcome of the choice is an impossibility, and regardless of choice, the same negative outcome is a certainty. Heller is widely regarded as one of the best post-World War II satirists. Although he is remembered primarily for Catch-22, his other works center on the lives of various members of the middle class and remain exemplars of modern satire.
Catch-22 is a satirical, historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. The novel, set during the later stages of World War II from 1944 onwards, is frequently cited as one of the great literary works of the twentieth century.[2] It has a distinctive non-chronological style where events are described from different characters' points of view and out of sequence so that the time line develops along with the plot.
The novel follows Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier, and a number of other characters. Most events occur while the airmen of the fictional 256th squadron are based on the island of Pianosa, in the Mediterranean Sea west of Italy.

评分我看译林版的书相当多 但是好像除了《人都是要死的》《公众的怒火》《冠军早餐》等很有限的几本以外 几乎没有其他所谓“文学名著”了 大多数看的都是通俗畅销小说 一方面是自己生性疏懒不求上进就好低级趣味这一口 另一方面也是被译林的翻译质量倒了胃口 ——典型的就是《第二...
评分第一次听Craig David的Johnny的时候注意到一句歌词“Caught a catch at 22”,误打误撞知道了一个词叫做“catch-22”,然后,知道了创造出这个具有划时代意义词语的人,Joseph Heller,一个把黑色幽默传递给大家的又一巨人。 啥是“第二十二条军规”?这东西主角约塞连压根就...
评分这是一部震撼人心的小说. 无论从内容, 风格, 语言等角度来说, 都突破了以前小说写作的规矩. 开创了一个全新的小说写作派别: 荒诞派; 和一种全新的文学表达方式:黑色幽默文学. 我想作者约瑟夫.海勒当初并不是想以树立一个新文学派别为目的来写他这部著作的, 他只不过发现这是唯...
