Catch-22 is a 1961 novel by American novelist Joseph Heller. It was adapted into a feature film of the same name in 1970.
The novel follows Captain John Yossarian, a fictional World War II US Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier, and a large number of other characters during World War II. Most events in the book occur while the airmen of the Fighting 256th (or "two to the fighting eighth power") squadron are based on the island of Pianosa, west of Italy. Many events in the book are described repeatedly, from differing points of view, so that the reader learns more about the event with each iteration. The pacing of Catch-22 is frenetic, its tenor is intellectual, and its humor is largely absurd, but with grisly moments of realism interspersed.
In the December 1987 issue of Playboy magazine, a chapter that had been cut from the novel was published under the title "Yossarian Survives." It featured a physical-education instructor named Rogoff.
