At the heart of Joseph Heller’s bestselling novel, first published in 1961, is a satirical indictment of military madness and stupidity, and the desire of the ordinary man to survive it. It is a tale of the dangerously sane Captain Yossarian, who spends his time in Italy plotting to survive.
Yossarian is a bombardier in the 256th Squadron of the Army Air Forces during World War II, stationed on Pianosa, a fictionalised island in the Mediterranean between mainland Italy and Corsica. The squadron’s assignment is to bomb enemy positions in Italy and eastern France. Yossarian’s mission is simply to stay alive.

An apocalyptic masterpiece
Blessedly, monstrously, bloatedly, cynically funny, and fantastically unique
The greatest satirical work in the English language since EREHWON
