Catch 22

Heller’s Catch-22 was the trap no rational mind could escape. Trump has built it in reverse, proving his unfitness 122 doctors at a time.

I'm getting all my old #rare #books relisted at #eBay this year, and I've got a fun one for you today, a #FirstPrinting of #JosephHeller's 1974 black comedy #SomethingHappened, his long-awaited follow-up to 1961's surprise hit "Catch-22." Considered a disappointment by contemporary critics, it's gone on to to be thought of as the best book of his career by many, including author Jonathan Franzen and comedian Richard Lewis. Just $30 or your best offer!

Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923– December 12,1999)

Before writing Catch-22, Joseph Heller served as a bombardier in World War II and flew 60 combat missions over France and Italy.

That experience became the seed of one of the most famous anti-war novels of the 20th century - a book where war is shown not as noble glory, but as a terrifying system of fear, paperwork, commands, and absurd rules.

Zu diesem #Brandanschlag in #Berlin um die #Vulkangruppe, bzw. der Analysen, ob das nun eine #FalseFlagOperation des #Kreml s sei usw. fällt mir, umso länger ich darüber nachdenke (sich mein Hirn verknotet), dies Zitat von #JosephHeller ein: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you." welches ihr bestimmt in der Version von #KurtCobain / #Nirvana kennt:

In jedem Fall ist das alles urst scheiße: egal was da nun hintersteckt.
