Über den Autor

Über den Autor von Catch-22

Joseph Heller (1923–1999), der gefeierte Autor von Catch-22, war ein renommierter amerikanischer Romanschriftsteller und Meister der satirischen Fiktion, dessen Werke die Absurditäten von Krieg und Bürokratie kritisieren.

Geboren in New York City, schöpfte Heller in hohem Maße aus seinen Erfahrungen als B-25-Bombenschütze im Zweiten Weltkrieg – in dem er 60 Kampfeinsätze über Italien flog –, um die tiefschwarze, humorvolle Kritik des Romans an der militärischen Logik zu gestalten. Als Distinguished Professor für kreatives Schreiben an der CUNY festigten Hellers scharfer Verstand und seine unerschrockene Untersuchung gesellschaftlicher Strukturen sein Vermächtnis in der Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Zu seinen weiteren bedeutenden Werken gehören das introspektive Something Happened (Was geschah mit Slocum?) und Closing Time (Endzeit), die Fortsetzung von Catch-22, die beide Themen wie existenzielle Angst und institutionelle Dysfunktion untersuchen. In über ein Dutzend Sprachen übersetzt und mehr als 10 Millionen Mal verkauft, bleibt Catch-22 ein Eckpfeiler der modernen amerikanischen Literatur, wobei sein Titel als Symbol für paradoxe Dilemmata in den allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch eingegangen ist.
