By way of introduction, Joseph Heller, the author who introduced the phrase Catch-22 into the English language, died on December 12th at the age of 76 in his home in East Hampton, New York. In 1961, Heller published his first novel, "Catch-22" a surreal anti-war story set in World War II. Heller's protagonist, a fighter pilot, comes to understand that a man deemed insane by the military bureaucracy may be released from duty. The Catch-22 of Heller's title is that when a man recognizes his condition, he is no longer insane. Heller spoke at numerous college campuses throughout the '60s and Catch-22 seemed to capture the antiwar sentiment of many protesters during the Vietnam War.
