Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923– December 12,1999)
Before writing Catch-22, Joseph Heller served as a bombardier in World War II and flew 60 combat missions over France and Italy.
That experience became the seed of one of the most famous anti-war novels of the 20th century - a book where war is shown not as noble glory, but as a terrifying system of fear, paperwork, commands, and absurd rules.

“You’re right, you’re right, you’re right.
The hot dog. The Brooklyn Dodgers. Mom’s apple pie.
That’s what everyone’s fighting for.But who’s fighting for the decent folk?
Who’s fighting for more votes for the decent folk?There’s no patriotism — that’s what it is.
And no matriotism either.”

It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Catch-22, A book for our time!
“Much of the novel is about Yossarian’s determined efforts to stay alive — by not flying missions — which are thwarted by “catch-22”. This regulation stipulates that a pilot may request to be grounded if he pleads insanity, but that if he is sane enough to know that flying missions is insane, he is deemed to be of sound mind.”
“If he flew them, he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to, he was sane and had to.”

> I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22’
has earned in its entire history?”
And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!
