A beautiful hardback edition of one of the most subversive novels
ever written - reading Catch-22 is a rite of passage. Set in the
closing months of World War II, this is the story of a bombardier
named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of
people he has never met are trying to kill him. His real problem is
not the enemy - it is his own army which keeps increasing the
number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. If
Yossarian makes any attempts to excuse himself from the perilous
missions then he is caught in Catch-22: if he flies he is crazy,
and doesn't have to; but if he doesn't want to he must be sane and
has to. That's some catch... 'The greatest satirical work in the
English language' Observer 'Wildly original, brutally gruesome, a
dazzling performance...it will not be forgotten' New York Times
