In the novel, Bruce Gold, a middle-aged Jewish English professor, sees a chance to change his life when he is offered a high position in Washington. The assignment forces him to confront his demanding family and the contradictions between public ambition and private life, in a satire on American politics and bureaucracy with Joseph Heller's characteristic humour.
Joseph Heller is also the author of Catch-22; this work falls within literary fiction and Jewish American narrative.
For readers of literary fiction and political satire, with an interest in twentieth-century American narrative.
Joseph Heller was an American author of novels, short stories, plays, and screenplays. His best-known work is his debut novel Catch-22 (1961), a satire on war and bureaucracy, whose title has become a synonym for an absurd or contradictory choice. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature at least twice, in 1972 and 1975.
