Description: This is a pirated copy of Catch-22 from the Zhongshan Bookstore Co. Ltd., Taipei City, Taiwan (Republic of China), circa 1968, though the copyright page states 1955, 1961.

Publisher and printing information in Chinese is located on final page. Pages are clean and unmarked. Catch-22 is a satirical war novel by American author Joseph Heller. It was his debut novel, which he began writing in 1953, and published in 1961. The novel is set during World War II, from 1942 to 1944. It mainly follows the life of antihero Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier of Assyrian heritage. Most of the events in the book occur while the fictional 256th US Army Air Squadron is based on the island of Pianosa, in the Mediterranean Sea west of the Italian mainland, although it also includes episodes from basic training at Lowry Field in Colorado and Air Corps training at Santa Ana Army Air Base in California. The novel examines the absurdity of war and military life through the experiences of Yossarian and his cohorts, who attempt to maintain their sanity while fulfilling their service requirements so that they may return home. Joseph Heller (1923-1999) was an American author of novels, short stories, plays, and screenplays. Hardcover, very good condition. 443 pages, small octavo.
