Review of the first edition:
Nicely balancing description with discovery, Pinsker s lively and
wide-ranging study not only examines the themes and rhetorical
strategies through which Heller projects his satiric vision but
also locates them within the cultural context that both shapes
our literature and determines, in part, what it is capable of.

Modern Fiction Studies
To add a significant phrase to our language is no easy feat, but that is pre¬
cisely what Joseph Heller
(1923-1999)
did with catch-H, the princi¬
ple of absurdist logic and bureaucratic foul-up that energized his debut
novel, Catch-H, in
1961.
In this revised edition of Understanding Joseph
Heller, Sanford Pinsker explores the idiosyncratic vision that permeates
Heller s complete body of work, as he maps the dark terrain Heller carved
out, novel by novel, with considerable verbal dazzle and the uncompro¬
mising outrage of the classical satirist.
This updated edition includes new chapters on Closing Time, the sequel
to Catch-Il; Now and Then, Heller s memoir of growing up in Brook¬
lyn; Portrait of
m
Artist, as an Old Man, his posthumously published
novel; and Catch as Catch Can, a collection of assorted short stories and
sketches.
SANFORD PINSKER is an emeritus professor of humanities at Franklin
and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he taught courses
in American literature and creative writing for nearly forty years. He has
published books on the Jewish American novel as well as studies of
Cynthia Ozick, Philip Roth, and Joseph Heller.
