In 'Something Happened', Joseph Heller introduces us to Bob Slocum, a middle-aged executive who, despite having an apparently successful life with a good job, an attractive wife, children, and a comfortable home, feels increasingly unhappy and alienated. The novel explores the disillusionment, frustration, and fear that Slocum experiences in his daily life as he struggles against the monotony and meaninglessness of his existence. Through an introspective and satirical narrative, Heller examines the human condition and the search for meaning in a modern and dehumanized world.
Joseph Heller was an American author of novels, short stories, plays, and screenplays. His best-known work is his debut novel Catch-22 (1961), a satire on war and bureaucracy, whose title has become a synonym for an absurd or contradictory choice. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature at least twice, in 1972 and 1975.
