Heller, Joseph (1923–1999)
US novelist. He drew on his experiences in the US air force in World War II to write his best-selling Catch-22 (1961), satirizing war, the conspiracy of bureaucratic control, and the absurdism of history. A film based on the book appeared in 1970.
His other works include the novels Something Happened (1974), Good As Gold (1979), and Closing Time (1994); and the plays We Bombed in New Haven (1968) and Clevinger's Trial (1974). A novel, Portrait of an Artist as an Old Man, was published posthumously in 2000.
