Catch-22 is a satirical war novel by American author Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. It is set during World War II, from 1943 to 1945. It follows the story of Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier stationed on the island of Pianosa in the Mediterranean Sea. Yossarian is infuriated that the bureaucratic rule known as "Catch-22" prevents him from being grounded for insanity.
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.
