Catch-22 is like no other novel. It has its own rationale, its own extraordinary character. It moves back and forth from hilarity to horror. It is outrageously funny and strangely affecting. It is totally original. Set in the closing months of World War II in an American bomber squadron off Italy, Catch-22 is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian, who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he hasn't even met keep trying to kill him. Catch-22 is a microcosm of the twentieth-century world as it might look to someone dangerously sane. It is a novel that lives and moves and grows with astonishing power and vitality -- a masterpiece of our time. - Back cover.

March 3, 2024 Edited by Parkado Original poster most likely meant the Vintage selection of Joseph Hellers book Catch-22. Changes are made to reflect that. TV Tie-in was while known as non-official title self-imposed by bookstores it was still Vintage series book. Page count counted in all the pages not the content. Changed it to reflect the pages of the book not including title, metadata etc.
