It is lighter than air! Joseph Heller's remarkable novel, Catch-22, used black humor to illustrate the trials and tribulations of men at war. This humorous spoof of the modern U.S. aerospace industry employs plain vanilla humor to satirize the idiocies and frustrations afflicting individuals employed in a business the author, a former aerospace engineer, knew all too well. You'll encounter a plethora of outrageous characters, and some entirely lacking in character—a one time porn queen who's into blackmail; the wealthy great-grandson of a Russian aviation pioneer obsessed with re-acquiring the giant aerospace corporation he insists was "stolen" from his family; an ex-Air Force lieutenant colonel who reinvents himself as a totally inept management favorite; a wannabe Western film actor who's never been within fifty yards of a horse; an ultra-paranoid executive vice president; a nymphomaniacal lady manager, and sundry others, all embroiled in pluperfectly Quixotic situations ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime, and beyond. Enjoy!
