Overview:
"Catch-22" is a satirical novel written by Joseph Heller, published in 1961. The book is set during World War II and is known for its unique narrative structure, humor, and exploration of the absurdity of bureaucracy and war. The title itself has become a part of the English language, referring to a paradoxical situation in which an individual is trapped by contradictory rules or circumstances.
The novel follows the experiences of U.S. Army Air Forces bombardier Captain John Yossarian and his fellow soldiers stationed in Italy. Yossarian's attempts to avoid dangerous combat missions are thwarted by the military's "catch-22" logic, which states that if a soldier is mentally unfit to fly, he doesn't have to fly missions, but asking not to fly missions is considered proof of sanity, and therefore he must fly.
The book explores the themes of war, bureaucracy, sanity, and the moral and psychological toll of combat. It uses humor and satire to critique the military establishment and the absurdity of war. The characters' interactions with one another and with the illogical rules of the military bureaucracy create a darkly comedic and thought-provoking narrative.
"Catch-22" has had a significant impact on literature and popular culture, and its title has entered the English language as a term describing a no-win situation. It remains a widely studied and discussed work, admired for its innovative narrative style and its exploration of the complexities of human behavior in extreme situations.
