More Details

Absurd, darkly funny, and brutally honest, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is a landmark novel of anti-war satire that exposes the madness of bureaucracy and the cruelty of war. Set during World War II, the story follows Captain John Yossarian, a bombardier desperately trying to stay alive while trapped in an impossible system governed by illogical rules.

The infamous “Catch-22” states that a soldier must be insane to fly dangerous missions, but requesting to be excused proves sanity—forcing him to fly anyway. Through biting humor, nonlinear storytelling, and unforgettable characters, Heller reveals the absurdity of authority, blind obedience, and instituti.,onal power.

Perfect for readers who enjoy classic literature, dark comedy, political satire, and war fiction, this novel remains as relevant today as when it was first published. Catch-22 is not just a war story—it is a sharp critique of modern society itself.
