Joseph Heller
Joseph Heller was an American author best known for his satirical novel 'Catch-22,' published in 1961. The book, which critiques the absurdities of war and military bureaucracy, has become a classic of modern literature and introduced the term 'Catch-22' into the English language, symbolizing a no-win situation. Heller's experiences as a bombardier in World War II heavily influenced his writing. In addition to 'Catch-22,' he wrote several other novels, plays, and screenplays, but none achieved the same level of acclaim. Heller's work often explored themes of existentialism and the human condition, making him a significant figure in 20th-century American literature.
