Joseph Heller

Available for over a year

In 1961, Joseph Heller changed the face of fiction and introduced a new phrase into the English language at a single stroke. Catch-22 was a savagely funny satire on the Second World War which managed to catch the mood of the times in which it was published. 33 years later, Heller produced a follow-up, Closing Time. Christopher Bigsby talks to the author at his Long Island home. A programme from 1994.
