Joseph Heller

Joseph Heller — one title in the rankings.

Editor’s note Catch-22 follows Yossarian, a bombardier in a US squadron on an Italian island in the Second World War, trapped by a rule that gave the language its phrase: a man who asks to stop flying because the missions are insane proves he is sane enough to fly. Darkly funny, circular on purpose, and the only book of his here; give it fifty pages to find its rhythm.
