I tried to read this once and didn't really get anywhere. It didn't keep my attention and I took it back to the library. ( )
  endolith | Mar 1, 2023 |
thrilling to reread this book as a whole adult and pick out all the parts that appealed to me and shocked me as a teenager, while finding new brilliance and flaws and revelations. i remember "the eternal city" shocking me stupid as a teenager, just this pitiless sweeping depiction of the breadth of human suffering and the real meaning of deja vu, but now the most chilling parts were the disappearance of dunbar and the chaplain's meeting with the colonels & subsequent interrogation - these are things that take on more weight with lived experience, the way systems will vanish those they deem unsuitable, and belittle those they can't disappear. the horror of catch-22 (the concept) is that it doesn't matter if it's real or not, people will still believe in it - and in a way this realigned the whole book for me, recreated my understanding of it anew. yes, so much of it is absurd and unlikely. it's a farce on war and capitalism and bureaucracy and in this moment i felt like heller was saying to me, listen, this may be a story, a fever dream, but the allegorical level is real in a way you cannot escape. because people believe in these things. and the joy of the ending & ultimately the thing that made me buy into absurdism so heavily as a kid is that there is LIFE beyond this. and we get that life by sticking to our guns. believing in something that IS real. oh my god. also god i hope the kid sister is okay ( )

Lets keep this simple. I thought this book was trite bullshit when i first started reading it. But, over time it starts to grow on you and then it hits you with some seriousness and your like im glad I stayed along for the ride. It's not my favorite book but I certainly can appreciate it.

If you don't like it in the beginning then stick it out til page 100. If you still dont like it then throw it in the garbage and move on with your life. ( )
  RetrospectiveEmperor | Feb 24, 2023 |
A true classic in all respects, Heller's war satire stands out. Characters that set the benchmark for what would be M*A*S*H, the hypocrisy posed is unique. It's award winning film adaptation is a tribute to the writing and unforgettable doesn't begin to describe it. In my opinion, we don't see nearly enough stories that spear the military and this one stands alone. Hilarious, poignant and thought provoking, this is on my Top 10 List and a book that's always worth reading again. ( )

"A wild, moving, shocking, hilarious, raging, exhilarating, giant roller-coaster of a book"

"doesn't even seem to be written; instead, it gives the impression of having been shouted onto paper.... what remains is a debris of sour jokes"
ajouté par GYKM | modifierThe New Yorker
 
"Catch-22," by Joseph Heller, is not an entirely successful novel. It is not even a good novel by conventional standards. But there can be no doubt that it is the strangest novel yet written about the United States Air Force in World War II. Wildly original, brilliantly comic, brutally gruesome, it is a dazzling performance that will probably outrage nearly as many readers as it delights. In any case, it is one of the most startling first novels of the year and it may make its author famous.

A portrait gallery, a collection of anecdotes, some of them wonderful, a parade of scenes, some of them finely assembled, a series of descriptions, yes, but the book is no novel... Its author, Joseph Heller, is like a brilliant painter who decides to throw all the ideas in his sketchbooks onto one canvas, relying on their charm and shock to compensate for the lack of design.

There was only one catch... and that was Catch-22.

This island of Pianosa lies in the Mediterranean Sea eight miles south of Elba. It is very small and obviously could not accommodate all of the actions described. Like the setting of this novel, the characters, too, are fictitious.

The enemy is anybody who’s going to get you killed, no matter which side he’s on.
"Sure, that's what I mean," Doc Daneeka said. "A little grease is what makes this world go round. One hand washes the other. Know what I mean? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."

Yossarian knew what he meant.

"That's not what I meant," Doc Daneeka said, as Yossarian began scratching his back.
