具体描述
Catch-22 is a satirical, historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. The novel, set during the later stages of World War II from 1944 onwards, is frequently cited as one of the great literary works of the twentieth century.[2] It has a distinctive non-chronological style where events are described from different characters' points of view and out of sequence so that the time line develops along with the plot.
The novel follows Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier, and a number of other characters. Most events occur while the airmen of the fictional 256th squadron are based on the island of Pianosa, in the Mediterranean Sea west of Italy.
作者简介
Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923 – December 12, 1999) was an American satirical novelist, short story writer and playwright. He wrote the influential novel Catch-22 about American servicemen during World War II. The title of this work entered the English lexicon to refer to absurd, no-win choices, particularly in situations in which the desired outcome of the choice is an impossibility, and regardless of choice, the same negative outcome is a certainty. Heller is widely regarded as one of the best post-World War II satirists. Although he is remembered primarily for Catch-22, his other works center on the lives of various members of the middle class and remain exemplars of modern satire.

读后感
生命不过是一个荒诞的玩笑。刘晓波曾说，一场文革，够写10部《第22条军规》，可我们一部都写不出来。尽管足够荒诞，但我们缺乏面对荒诞的勇气，更缺乏用微笑嘲弄死亡的心智。
评分第一次听Craig David的Johnny的时候注意到一句歌词“Caught a catch at 22”，误打误撞知道了一个词叫做“catch-22”，然后，知道了创造出这个具有划时代意义词语的人，Joseph Heller，一个把黑色幽默传递给大家的又一巨人。 啥是“第二十二条军规”？这东西主角约塞连压根就...
评分有点资色的女人: 不想卖淫,就要被强奸, 不要被强奸,就要暴力杀人 如果不想被杀,就要证明疯狂 如果已经疯狂,为何不能被自杀. 如果没有疯狂,为何不开始就卖? 想做有良心的记者么?? 好, 你到底是为党说话,还是人民?? 不为党,是违宪 不为人民,是违心 啥都不说,是没钱 光为...
评分这是一本从我十四岁起就在“要读”的清单上的书。晚了二十年，恰逢其时。只有今天才能读懂这么复杂的感情吧？加上卡帕的《失焦》，海明威的《永别了武器》，才能体会那个带着嘲讽蔑视的笑里，有多少悲怆和爱国主义吧。哦，还有那个因为太爱美国而做了加拿大人的John Irving. ...
评分读过两遍了，至今仍在黑色幽默下悲伤。看这本书想笑不难，但内心的酸楚却总油然而生。 从这里能用另一种眼光看待战争，其实，不要把战争想的多么高尚，它只不过是高层人物的发泄而已，对于普通人有的只是受苦和灾难，或者你可以成为其中的优秀人物，你也从战争中寻找乐趣，就像...
