About the Author:
Joseph Heller was born in 1923 in Brooklyn, New York. He served as a bombardier in the Second World War and then attended New York University and Columbia University and then Oxford, the last on a Fullbright scholarship. He then taught for two years at Pennsylvania State University, before returning to New York, where he began a successful career in the advertising departments of Time, Look and McCall's magazines. It was during this time that he had the idea for Catch-22. Working on the novel in spare moments and evenings at home, it took him eight years to complete and was first published in 1961. His second novel, Something Happened was published in 1974, Good As Gold in 1979 and Closing Time in 1994. He is also the author of the play We Bombed in New Haven. Joseph Heller died in 1999.
Review:
"Dark, rude, paradoxical - and hilarious" * Mail on Sunday * "The satire comes closer than ever before to home, both in terms of Heller's own background and the state of his nation" * Independent *

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good-. Reprint; Second Printing. Light cover creases and shelf wear, some foxing, corner water staining to first few leaves. ; Nice tight copy, no names inside. ; 464 pages; Superb satire on American politics as Heller does for Washington D C what he did for the US military in his acclaimed Catch 22. Bruce Gold is a middle aged academic from a New York jewish family. His father hates him, his older brother is always putting him down, but he's going to show them now he has the chance to make it big in Washington. Because he's been told by an old school mate that the President and his inner circle admire his work and want to give him an important job, only they cannot decide what the job will be, and it would be best if the President could meet him first, if the President can ever find the time.
