HELLER, JOSEPH. — Catch 22.

London: Jonathan Cape, 1962. 5th impression. "Nothing is more calculated to prolong a bombing-leader's life than a decent fear of death. Anti-war novels are legion: this is a war novel that is anti-death, a brilliant, comic, savage tribute to those who aren't interested in dying. With guts of jelly and a whiplash brain, Joseph Heller's hero, Captain Yossarian, spends his time in Italy plotting how to survive." Pp.443, spotting to closed page edges, owner's name in pencil to front free endpaper. Dark pink cloth, faded patch to base of spine. Dustwrapper has spotting (mainly to rear), 2cm loss to base of spine and further small chipped losses but now in a removable clear protective wrap. G+/G.
