About the book

Joseph Heller's Catch-22 is a darkly comic novel set among American airmen during the Second World War. The story follows bombardier Yossarian, who desperately wants to survive but finds himself trapped by absurd military regulations. Heller uses circular logic, bureaucracy and black humour to explore war, authority and the madness of institutions that claim to operate rationally. Heller uses dark humour, repetition and absurdity to expose the irrationality of war and institutional power.
