«Now and Then: From Coney Island to Here» is the autobiography of Joseph Heller, published by Alfred A. Knopf in hardback (260 pages, in English).
Joseph Heller looks back on his childhood in Coney Island during the Great Depression, his service in the Air Force in World War II, and the years that led him to write. With humour and dark undertones, he recalls how these experiences inspired characters and episodes of 'Catch-22'.
Originally published in 1998 in New York, this edition corresponds to the first commercial edition of the work.

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.
