Joseph Hellers World War II satire, "Catch-22," poses the moral dilemma of how to remain sane in an insane world. When it was first published in 1961, the novel not only became a modern-day classic, but it also introduced the term catch-22 to everyday vernacular. This installment in the Blooms Guides series offers a varied selection of critical essays, and an annotated bibliography that collectively provide an ideal critical companion for readers hoping to broaden their appreciation of Hellers modern masterpiece.
