'''Catch-22''' is a humorous anti-war novel by Joseph Heller (1961). It deals with Armenian-American bombardier John Yossarian. Yossarian is stationed on the Italian island of Pianosa during [[World War II]]. He attempts to get out of flying more combat missions by pretending to be crazy. The problem is, only a sane man would want to get out of combat, therefore Yossarian cannot be considered crazy.
