Product Details
- This fiftieth-anniversary edition commemorates Joseph Heller’s masterpiece with a new introduction; critical essays and reviews by Norman Mailer, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Burgess, and others; rare papers and photos; and much more. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. Now a Hulu limited series starring Christopher Abbott, George Clooney, Kyle Chandler, and Hugh Laurie.Fifty years after its original publication, Catch-22 remains a cornerstone of American literature and one of the funniest—and most celebrated—books of all time. In recent years it has been named to “best novels” lists by Time, Newsweek, the Modern Library, and the London Observer. Set in Italy during World War II, this is the story of the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy—it is his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to excuse himself from the perilous missions he’s assigned, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes a formal request to be removed from duty, he is proven sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved. This fiftieth-anniversary edition commemorates Joseph Heller’s masterpiece with a new introduction by Christopher Buckley; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Norman Mailer, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Burgess, and others; rare papers and photos from Joseph Heller’s personal archive; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature.

War Editorial Review
Catch-22: 50th Anniversary Edition is a timeless satirical novel by Joseph Heller that intricately weaves the absurdities of war with humor. First published in 1961, it revolves around Captain Yossarian, a bombardier convinced that the military is trying to kill him, amidst a backdrop of WWII chaos. The infamous 'Catch-22' concept explains how logic is manipulated to keep soldiers trapped in dangerous situations, adding depth to the narrative. The characters are both comical and complex, with memorable personas like the entrepreneurial Lt. Milo Minderbinder and the perpetually overwhelmed Major Major Major Major. This edition offers a fresh take on Heller's classic themes of absurdity, bureaucracy, and human survival.
