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.
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.

评分这是一本从我十四岁起就在“要读”的清单上的书。晚了二十年,恰逢其时。只有今天才能读懂这么复杂的感情吧?加上卡帕的《失焦》,海明威的《永别了武器》,才能体会那个带着嘲讽蔑视的笑里,有多少悲怆和爱国主义吧。哦,还有那个因为太爱美国而做了加拿大人的John Irving. ...
评分本人上的大学是准军事化管理,每天早上要穿皮鞋和制服变态晨跑。 很多人都知道,长期一起生活的女性,周期会慢慢调整到一样的时间。我们宿舍的女生某个月就很不幸的一起来了。 于是不能晨跑,一起站在甬道边看他们跑。 教官不相信我们四个能同时例假,要我们去医务室开个证明...
评分在一个等级和强权的社会里,他人是一个可怖的地狱。 这样的强权需要靠一定的标志和环境来维持,例如上级的制服、军队的制度。在罗马,邓巴扔掉了几个军官的衣服,那将军说“我们的制服也扔了?那可真聪明。没有制服,我们永远无法让人相信我们是上级。”(p423) 没有等级和...
