Love how passionate he is about his own work, it's so endearing. Also enjoy his appreciation for the 70's film showing.
His best are Something Happened and God Knows to me. Also I loved his non-fiction book No Laughing Matter.
If only the interviewer had read the book.
💚 Thanks 22 billion times Joseph 💚
One of my favorites is God Knows - I love that book. Super funny.

Honestly I'm still going through all his books. So far my three favorites are Catch-22, God Knows, and Good as Gold.
Along with those three I also read Something Happened, but I don't like that one quite as much, though I would still call it a brilliant novel
his nurse is McIntosh?
I'm currently reading - and loving - Heller's Catch 22, but boy, he seems awfully conceited in this interview.
Interesting you say that, I didn’t get that impression at all
Do you perhaps have him confused with Charlie Rose?
@@NeirinCedric I saw the first two minutes or so of this interview a few weeks back and read the top comment here and agreed, but now that I’ve come back and watched the rest of it I’m glad I did because he just seems like a genuinely funny, happy grandpa type. Definitely the kind of guy that I could imagine having written Catch-22.
He's not; but even if he was, he'd be allowed. It's a post-modern work of genius.
he is definitely a lot more down-to-earth in some of his other interviews around this time, check him on the FSU panel with vonnegut. i feel like here he had to be more defensive because charlie rose is a notorious asswipe, probably one of the worst television "personalities" that was ever in the business. his interviews with vonnegut are practically unbearable to watch. unbelievably arrogant, aggressive and patently unfunny, that rose fellow. heller was a very observant and informed man and probably had a good idea of what he was going to deal with when he agreed to do this interview with rose.
