Reviews"To my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. Catch-22 is one." -Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly, "One of the most bitterly funny works in the language . . . Explosive, bitter, subversive, brilliant." - The New Republic, "This novel is not merely the best American novel to come out of World War II, it is the best American novel that has come out of anywhere in years." -Nelson Algren, The Nation, "To call it the finest comic novel of our day is faulting it. If Joseph Heller writes no other book, he will be well remembered for this apocalyptic masterpiece." -Studs Terkel, Chicago Sun-Times, "It's the rock and roll of novels . . . There's no book like it. . . . Surprisingly powerful." -Norman Mailer, Esquire, Robert BrusteinThe New RepublicOne of the most bitterly funny works in the language...explosive, bitter, subversive, brilliant., "Wildly original, brilliantly comic, brutally gruesome, it is a dazzling performance that will probably outrage nearly as many readers as it delights." -Orville Prescott, New York Times Book Review, John W. AldridgeThe New York Times Book ReviewA monumental artifact of contemporary literature, almost as assured of longevity as the statues on Easter Island.
