About this product
Product Information
Catch-22 is like no other novel. It is one of the funniest books ever written, a keystone work in American literature, and even added a new term to the dictionary. At the heart of Catch-22 resides the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero endlessly inventive in his schemes to save his skin from the horrible chances of war. His efforts are perfectly understandable because as he furiously scrambles, thousands of people he hasn't even met are trying to kill him. His problem is Colonel Cathcart, who keeps raising the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself from the perilous missions that he is committed to flying, he is trapped by the Great Loyalty Oath Crusade, the hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule from which the book takes its title: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes the necessary formal request to be relieved of such missions, the very act of making the request proves that he is sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved. Catch-22 is a microcosm of the twentieth-century world as it might look to some one dangerously sane -- a masterpiece of our time.

âItâs the rock and roll of novels . . . Thereâs no book like it. . . . Surprisingly powerful.â Norman Mailer, Esquire, 'It's the rock and roll of novels . . . There's no book like it. . . . Surprisingly powerful.' Norman Mailer, Esquire, 'Wildly original, brilliantly comic, brutally gruesome, it is a dazzling performance that will probably outrage nearly as many readers as it delights.' Orville Prescott, New York Times Book Review, âWildly original, brilliantly comic, brutally gruesome, it is a dazzling performance that will probably outrage nearly as many readers as it delights.â Orville Prescott, New York Times Book Review, âTo call it the finest comic novel of our day is faulting it. If Joseph Heller writes no other book, he will be well remembered for this apocalyptic masterpiece.â Studs Terkel, Chicago Sun-Times, 'One of the most bitterly funny works in the language . . . Explosive, bitter, subversive, brilliant.' The New Republic, âThis novel is not merely the best American novel to come out of World War II, it is the best American novel that has come out of anywhere in years.â Nelson Algren, The Nation, John W. AldridgeThe New York Times Book ReviewA monumental artifact of contemporary literature, almost as assured of longevity as the statues on Easter Island., " Catch-22 Is the only War Novel I've Ever Read That Makes Any Sense." Harper Lee, Chicago Sun-Timesan Apocalyptic Masterpiece., 'To call it the finest comic novel of our day is faulting it. If Joseph Heller writes no other book, he will be well remembered for this apocalyptic masterpiece.' Studs Terkel, Chicago Sun-Times, âTo my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. Catch-22 is one.â Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly, 'This novel is not merely the best American novel to come out of World War II, it is the best American novel that has come out of anywhere in years.' Nelson Algren, The Nation, 'To my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. Catch-22 is one.'

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
