'Joseph
Heller's
best-known
book,
Catch-22,
has
perhaps
overshadowed
his
other
works.
This
study
provides
a
comprehensive
critical
assessment
of
Heller's
works
from
his
earliest
short
stories
to
his
latest
novel.
It
draws
on
a
broad
range
of
materials,
published
and
unpublished,
to
demonstrate
the
consistency
of
Heller's
absurdist
vision
which
informs
even
his
plays
and
occasional
essays.
Where
revelant,
biographical
information
is
brought
in
to
supplement
the
critical
discussion
and,
although
Catch-22
is
presented
as
the
major
work
in
Heller's
career,
every
effort
has
been
made
to
assess
his
other
works
on
their
own
merits.'
