Joseph Heller Interview with Bill Boggs

Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923 -- December 12, 1999) was an American satirical novelist, short story writer, and playwright. His best known work is Catch-22, a novel about US servicemen during World War II. The title of this work entered the English lexicon to refer to absurd, no-win choices, particularly in situations in which the desired outcome of the choice is an impossibility, and regardless of choice, the same negative outcome is a certainty. Heller is widely regarded as one of the best post--World War II satirists. Although he is remembered primarily for Catch-22, his other works center on the lives of various members of the middle class and remain exemplars of modern satire. - Wikipedia

[@Kevin-sy8uf]

Bivek and Peace I got it as a gift and now, having just finished it, I ordered all of Heller's books

[@jeffdoyle]

Read it about 5 times. Classic. Believe it or not his book Something Happened is even better

[@sidDkid87]

This will be a feather in your cap 😉

[@sidDkid87]

We've upped your missions - you have to read it 55 times

[@advancedraymondology2914]

Dude was a huge early influence. I've read all three mentioned. Catch was definitely the best of the three. Something Happened was great, but very depressing. Good As Gold, well, I was in, like, 8th grade, so I may not have gotten it all. I remember basically liking it though.

[@underbedbeast]

thank you so much for posting this

[@tarnopol]

Thanks for putting this up! There's too little Heller on CZcams! And in the culture -- Good as Gold alone should be required reading for every American. It only gets more relevant. And it may be the funniest book I've ever read.

[@XavierKatzone]

Forever known for Catch 22.
