Catch-22: 50th Anniversary Edition

by Joseph Heller

Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 is a darkly comedic masterpiece that exposes the paradoxes, madness, and bureaucratic absurdities of war. Following the story of Captain Yossarian, a World War II bombardier trapped in a system that punishes sanity and rewards insanity, the novel takes a scathing look at military logic, government control, and the helplessness of the individual in the face of absurd power structures. Satirical, brutal, and eerily relevant, Catch-22 remains one of the sharpest critiques of war and bureaucracy ever written. Because history doesn’t repeat, but it sure loves a remix.
