Catch-22 is a satirical war novel by Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. It is widely regarded as one of the most significant novels of the 20th century. The story follows the experiences of U.S. Army Air Forces Captain John Yossarian during World War II, as he grapples with the absurdities and dangers of war. Heller's narrative style is non-linear, using a third-person omniscient perspective that shifts between characters and events, creating a disjointed timeline that mirrors the chaos of war. The novel critiques military bureaucracy, the dehumanizing effects of war, and the paradoxical logic that traps soldiers in endless conflict.
