ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller plunges into the chaotic and satirical world of American airmen stationed in the Mediterranean during World War II. The central character, Yossarian, desperately tries to escape the increasingly dangerous bombing missions by any means necessary. His primary obstacle is the paradoxical "Catch-22," a military regulation that dictates a pilot is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he asks to be removed from duty, proving his sanity, he is then deemed fit to fly. The novel explores themes of the absurdity of war, bureaucratic madness, and the struggle for individual sanity within a nonsensical system.
