Genau wie dereinst Martin Walser führt Heller uns eine Folge von erbarmungslosen Zimmerschlachten vor; dort wie hier ist der Held ein Experte des Familienkrachs und ein Artist der Bürointrige.« Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Der Spiegel »Angesichts dieses Buches.erübrigt sich jede Diskussion über "Realismus in der Literatur". Sein Wirklichkeitsgehalt ist überwältigend.« Robert von Berg, Süddeutsche Zeitung. - Joseph Heller (* 1. Mai 1923 in New York; 12. Dezember 1999 in East Hampton) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Leben und Werk: Heller wurde auf Coney Island im New Yorker Stadtteil Brooklyn als Sohn armer russisch-jüdischer Immigranten geboren. Mit 19 Jahren trat Heller in die United States Army Air Force ein. Zwischen Mai und Dezember 1944 war er auf der Insel Korsika stationiert. Dort flog er 60 Einsätze als Bombenschütze. Seine Kriegserlebnisse wurden zur Grundlage für seinen ersten und berühmtesten Roman Catch-22. Nach einem Anglistikstudium, das er 1949 abschloß, erhielt er an der Pennsylvania State University einen Lehrauftrag. 1952 arbeitete Heller zunächst für das Medienunternehmen Time Inc., bald als Werbetexter für eine kleine Medienagentur, bei der auch die spätere Kriminalautorin Mary Higgins Clark arbeitete. Während dieser Zeit schrieb Heller bereits: Seine erste Kurzgeschichte wurde 1948 im Atlantic veröffentlicht. 1945 heiratete er Shirley Held, mit der er zwei Kinder hatte. Hellers Debütroman Catch-22 erschien 1961. An dem satirischen Antikriegsroman hatte Heller in unregelmäßigen Abständen seit 1953 gearbeitet. Der Roman erzählt vom Air Force Captain John Yossarian, der vergeblich versucht jedem Kampfeinsatz aus dem Weg zu gehen und aus dem Militär entlassen zu werden. Hellers Ablehnung und Kritik von Institutionen, Regierung und Militär werden in dem Roman deutlich. Hellers zweiter Roman Was geschah mit Slocum (engl.: Something Happened) aus dem Jahr 1974 ist eine Satire auf das US-amerikanische Kleinfamilienleben, in Weiß Gott (God Knows) von 1984 beschäftigt sich Heller mit dem Leben von König David und in seinem Roman Closing Time beschreibt er das weitere Leben einiger Charaktere aus Catch-22 im New York der Neunzigerjahre. Neben seiner Arbeit als Schriftsteller, verfolgte Heller eine akademische Karriere und lehrte als Dozent für kreatives Schreiben in Yale und an der University of Pennsylvania. 1981 ließ sich Heller von seiner Frau scheiden. Noch im selben Jahr erkrankte er am Guillain-Barré-Syndrom, eine neurologisches Krankheit, durch die er zeitweise gelähmt war. Er verarbeitete diese schwere Erkrankung und seine langjährige Rehabilitation 1986 in dem autobioraphischen Werk No Laughing Matter, das er gemeinsam mit seinem Freund Speed Vogel schrieb. 1987 heiratete Heller Valerie Humphries, eine der Krankenschwestern, die ihn bei seiner Genesung beistand. 1998 veröffentlichte Heller seine Memoiren Now and Then: From Coney Island to Here. Joseph Heller verstarb 1999 an einem Herzinfarkt, kurz nachdem er die Arbeit an seinem letzten Roman, dem autobioraphisch gefärbten Roman Portrait of an Artist as an Old Man beendet hatte. . .

First edition of this classic work by the author of Catch-22. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Ted Solotaroff, With good wishes (It may read better in print than it did in manuscript.) Joseph Heller." The recipient, Ted Solotaroff was an editor and literary critic. Solotaroff attended the University of Michigan, graduating in 1952, and did graduate work at the University of Chicago, where he became friends with Philip Roth and dedicated himself to literature. He was an editor at Commentary from 1960 to 1966, then in 1967 founded The New American Review, which was an influential literary journal in paperback, not magazine, format for the decade of its existence. After it folded, he became an editor at Harper & Row, where he edited works by Russell Banks, Sue Miller, Robert Bly, Bobbie Ann Mason, and others. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. An exceptional association. Bob Slocum was living the American dream. He had a beautiful wife, three lovely children, a nice house.and all the mistresses he desired. He had it all -- all, that is, but happiness. Slocum was discontent. Inevitably, inexorably, his discontent deteriorated into desolation until.something happened. Something Happened is Joseph Heller's wonderfully inventive and controversial second novel satirizing business life and American culture. The story is told as if the reader was overhearing the patter of Bob Slocum's brain -- recording what is going on at the office, as well as his fantasies and memories that complete the story of his life. The result is a novel as original and memorable as his Catch-22.
