DL consignment. Shelved Room C. Joseph Heller was born May 1, 1923 on Coney Island, Brooklyn, NYC to poor Jewish immigrants from Russia. Heller had an early love for writing, writing a story about the Soviet invasion of Finland, which was rejected by the "New York Daily News". Heller would join the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942, performing over 60 missions flying a B-25 bomber. After graduating with an M.A. in English, Heller would work several jobs, writing as he worked, eventually coming up with the lines that would birth "Catch-22" in 1953. "Catch-22" would be published in 1961, a satirical war novel based in part on Joseph Heller's personal experiences during World War II. After publication, "Catch-22" became big amongst younger circles who felt the novel encapsulated feelings about the Vietnam War. "Catch-22" remains a popular novel into the modern day, many noting it's seeming prescience about the chaos of the world to come. 1390120. Special Collections.

Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. An exceptional example with noted provenance. "Catch-22, Joseph Heller's first and best-known novel, depicts a military world turned upside down. In Heller's World War II, a supplies manager has more power than a general, and anyone seeking a discharge on the grounds of insanity is declared sane enough to keep on fighting. When the novel appeared in 1961, World War II veterans appreciated its satire of the military bureaucracy and chaos of war. By the mid-1960's, it had become a cult classic among counterculture activists for its biting indictments of war. Many consider the novel to be the definitive statement of the modern antiwar position. The phrase 'Catch-22', symbolizing the absurdity of all institutional logic, has become a permanent part of our language" (NYPL Books of the Century 177). Basis for the 1970 film directed by Mike Nichols. The cast included Alan Arkin, Bob Balaban, Martin Balsam, Richard Benjamin, Olimpia Carlisi, Art Garfunkel, Jack Gilford, Charles Grodin, Bob Newhart, Anthony Perkins, Paula Prentiss, Martin Sheen, Jon Voight, and Orson Welles.

FIRST EDITION, First Printing. 220 x 150 mm. (8 5/8 x 5 3/4"). 443 pp. Publisher's blue cloth, white lettering on smooth spine. In the original illustrated dust jacket. Housed in a modern red morocco-backed clamshell box. Title page SIGNED BY HELLER in ink. âA pristine volume in a bright, pleasing dust jacket. (The jacket with one-inch tear to fold at front joint neatly repaired on verso, one other quite small closed tear to top of front panel, front cover lightly chafed, slight fraying at spine ends and minor wrinkling at bottom of back panel.). This is an excellent signed copy of Heller's modern classic on the absurdity of war, often hailed as one of the most important novels of the 20th century. Based on Heller's own first-hand experiences as a member of the U.S. Air Force in WWII, the story revolves around bombardier Captain John Yossarian and his desperate efforts to keep himself alive by avoiding bombing runs. As noted by Britannica, "The 'catch' in Catch-22 involves a mysterious Army Air Forces regulation which asserts that a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions but that 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." Although the story takes place during the Second World War, the novel is largely a commentary on the Cold War and McCarthyism, and its anti-war message especially resonated with young people coming of age during the Vietnam War era. Joseph Heller (1923-99) wrote several novels, short stories, and plays, but "Catch-22" remains his best-known work. This copy is especially desirable for its very attractive condition and the presence of the author's signature on the title page.
