	Catching Joseph Heller
		Heller is an accurate and largely instinctive documenter of such aberrations as your everyday Oedipus complex, your sneaky, masked phobia (about closed doors, for instance) and your devious, unconscious defense mechanisms, such as laughing at death.
		Heller, who reads everything about health, had been boning up on the subject as a hedge against his own imminent disintegration (imminent ever since he turned 30, calculated that his life was half over, and began to fear he had no future).
		Heller forces himself to socialize--sometimes to help the sale of his books, some times out of boredom--and it is possible for him, aided by two or three martinis, to have much fun on such occasions.

	A brief tribute to Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22
		Heller was born in 1923 in Coney Island, a neighborhood in the southernmost part of Brooklyn, New York.
		Heller boils his catch-22 down to this, that “they [i.e., whoever has control] have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.” Yossarian cannot go home because the people who run the war won't let him, and it makes no difference what justification they might give for making him stay.
		In essence, Heller is pointing to the fundamental nature of modern politics, that, in spite of all talk of democracy and freedom, it is the Milo Minderbenders, in collusion with the petty officers and politicians, who run the show.
