When Everyone's Trying to Kill You, Sanity Becomes a Crime
A bombardier sits naked in a tree during a funeral. A dead man's belongings haunt a tent, impossible to remove because he never officially existed. A soldier wrapped entirely in bandages may or may not be hollow inside. Welcome to the world of "Catch-22," where the only way to prove you're crazy enough to stop flying combat missions is to demonstrate you're sane enough to keep flying them. Joseph Heller's masterpiece doesn't just tell a war story-it exposes the machinery of madness that grinds up human beings while calling itself rational. The novel gave us a term now woven into everyday language, describing those impossible situations where the rules themselves trap you: needing experience to get a job that would give you experience, requiring insurance to afford treatment that would qualify you for insurance. But beneath its dark comedy lies a devastating question: What happens when the system designed to protect you becomes the thing you need protection from?
