This collection contains a great many works that revolve around or contain characters from Catch-22, including two chapters cut from the novel published here as independent stories: "Love, Dad" and "Yossarian Survives". Not surprisingly, these are the strongest works in the book. "Love, Dad" provides the first introduction to Edward J Nately III, who "was often lonely and nagged by vague, incipient longings. He contemplated his sophomore year at Harvard without enthusiasm, without joy. Fortunately, the War broke out in time to save him". Joseph Heller will be known forever for his great novel, Catch-22, and Catch As Catch Can serves to back up this notion. --Michael Ferch, Amazon.com

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Book Description Light shelving wear with minimal damage to cover and bindings. This book is in very good condition albeit with some age related yellowing to Page Edges The previously uncollected writings of Joseph Heller, including hitherto unpublished stories, lost chapters from CATCH-22 and further tales from that novel's unforgettable 'hero', Yossarian. Not many writers introduce a phrase - let alone a whole idea - into the language. In CATCH-22, Joseph Heller invented a motif for the modern world. For that book alone he is one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. But where did the author who was able to create that novel come from? And what happened to those remarkable characters? CATCH AS CATCH CAN for the first time collects early works, previously unpublished stories and lost chapters of CATCH-22 to chart the development of a genius. It also explores the consequences in the later stories of the unforgettable Yossarian, and Heller's non-fiction pieces, in which the author reflects upon his childhood in Coney Island and the novel which shaped everything that was written after it.
