In 'Catch-22', Joseph Heller invented a motif for the modern world. The book shaped everything that came after it, establishing Heller's reputation as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. But where did the author who was able to create that novel come from? And what happened to those remarkable characters?

'Catch As Catch Can' for the first time collects his stories and writings to chart the development of a genius. From Heller's recollections of his Coney Island childhood to the later tales of his greatest creation Yossarian, 'Catch As Catch Can' is the last great work of one of the twentieth century's most important literary figures.

About the Author: Joseph Heller

Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923 - December 12, 1999) was an American satirical novelist, short story writer and playwright. He wrote the influential novel Catch-22 about American servicemen during World War II. It was this work whose title became the term commonly used to express absurdity in choice and frustration with bureaucratic insanity.

Heller is widely regarded as one of the best post-World War II satirists. Although he is remembered mostly for Catch-22, his other works center on the lives of various members of the middle class and remain exemplars of modern satire.
