What Is The Point of This Crazy Story?

Thu, 6 Apr 2000 15:24:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author emily002 - I feel that Heller makes his most central point clearly at the end of Catch-22. For the entire book he keeps a million little themes and ideas running around, and it’s nearly impossible to tell which ones are important and which ones aren’t. By...
