Description

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.
