Funny to read that we have mixed up our opinions on these two classical authors. Whereas I staggered through A Clockwork Orange, I ran through Catch22, Yosefian was my hero, I loved how the book deals with the absurdities of war, something that has become more actual than ever last week.

Heller has written some other master pieces. God Knows, the story from (biblical) David, as told by himself was hilarious, Closing time features prominently on my shelf as well.

I guess I like it when exaggeration makes thing more obvious than when hidden inside a 'normal' story.
