"Catch-22" is one of this century's greatest works of American literature. First published m 1961, Joseph Heller's profound and compelling novel has appeared on nearly every list of must read fiction. It is a classic in every sense of the word. "Catch-22" took the war novel genre to a new level, shocking us with its clever and disturbing style. Set in a World War II American bomber squadron off the coast of Italy, "Catch-22" is the story of John Yossarian, who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. Yossarian is also trying to decode the meaning of Catch-22, a mysterious regulation that proves that insane people are really the sanest, while the supposedly sensible people are the true madmen. And this novel is full of madmen -- Colonel Cathcart, who keeps raising the number of missions the men must fly m order to finish their tour; Milo Minderbinder, a dedicated entrepreneur who bombs his own airfield when the Germans offer him an extra 6 percent; Major Major Major, whose tragedy in life is that he resembles Henry Fonda; and Major -- de Coverley, whose face is so forbidding no one has dared ask his name. No novel before or since has matched "Catch-22's" intensity and brilliance in depicting the brutal insanity of war. Heller satirizes military bureaucracy with bitter, stinging humor, all the while telling the darkly comic story of Yossarian, a bombardier who refuses to die. Nearly forty years later, Yossarian lives.
约瑟夫·海勒(1923一),美国黑色幽默派代表作家,出生于纽约市布鲁克林一个犹太移民家庭。第二次世界大战期间曾任空军中尉。战后进大学学习,1948年毕业于纽约大学。1949年在哥伦比亚大学获文学硕士学位后,得到富布赖特研究基金赴英国牛津大学深造一年。1950到1952年在宾夕法尼亚州立大学等校任教。此后即离开学校,到《时代》和《展望》等杂志编辑部任职。1961年,长篇小说《第二十二条军规》问世,一举成名,当年即放弃职务,专门从事写作。
除《第二十二条军规》外,海勒还发表过长篇小说两部:《出了毛病》(1974)和《像高尔德一样好》(1979)。前者通过对美国中产阶级经理人员日常生活的描写,反映了他们苦闷、彷徨的精神世界;后者用诙谐嘲讽的笔法,通过一个试图涉足官场的犹太知识分子的生活经历,描绘了一幅有关美国政治、社会生活的讽刺画。海勒也曾写过剧本,如《我们轰炸了纽黑文》等,但影响不大。
海勒的小说取材于现实生活,通过艺术的哈哈镜和放大镜,反映了美国社会生活的若干侧面,具有一定的认识价值和审美价值。当然,他的作品也带有黑色幽默派文学的一些通病,如对社会现实流露出无可奈何的心情等。
生命不过是一个荒诞的玩笑。刘晓波曾说,一场文革,够写10部《第22条军规》,可我们一部都写不出来。尽管足够荒诞,但我们缺乏面对荒诞的勇气,更缺乏用微笑嘲弄死亡的心智。
评分读过两遍了,至今仍在黑色幽默下悲伤。看这本书想笑不难,但内心的酸楚却总油然而生。 从这里能用另一种眼光看待战争,其实,不要把战争想的多么高尚,它只不过是高层人物的发泄而已,对于普通人有的只是受苦和灾难,或者你可以成为其中的优秀人物,你也从战争中寻找乐趣,就像...
评分有点资色的女人: 不想卖淫,就要被强奸, 不要被强奸,就要暴力杀人 如果不想被杀,就要证明疯狂 如果已经疯狂,为何不能被自杀. 如果没有疯狂,为何不开始就卖? 想做有良心的记者么?? 好, 你到底是为党说话,还是人民?? 不为党,是违宪 不为人民,是违心 啥都不说,是没钱 光为...
评分 评分约瑟夫.海勒是上世纪七八十年代的美国作家,他开创了“黑色幽默”这一现代主义文学流派(没错,就是周董唱的那个黑色幽默),该流派的文本特点是“从残忍中寻求乐趣”,把病态、荒诞、丑恶、冷酷、阴暗统统用幽默来表现、来对待。听上去好像挺玄乎,其实这种态度和...
