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

约瑟夫.海勒是上世纪七八十年代的美国作家，他开创了“黑色幽默”这一现代主义文学流派（没错，就是周董唱的那个黑色幽默），该流派的文本特点是“从残忍中寻求乐趣”，把病态、荒诞、丑恶、冷酷、阴暗统统用幽默来表现、来对待。听上去好像挺玄乎，其实这种态度和...

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...

在看这本书之前，我就听说过它大名鼎鼎的“第二十二条军规”理论——根据第二十二条军规，只有疯子才能获准免于飞行，但必须由本人提出申请，但你一旦提出申请，恰好证明了你是一个正常人，还是在劫难逃。第二十二条军规还规定，飞行员飞满25架次就能回国，但它又说，你必须绝...  

我看译林版的书相当多 但是好像除了《人都是要死的》《公众的怒火》《冠军早餐》等很有限的几本以外 几乎没有其他所谓“文学名著”了 大多数看的都是通俗畅销小说 一方面是自己生性疏懒不求上进就好低级趣味这一口 另一方面也是被译林的翻译质量倒了胃口 ——典型的就是《第二...
