Joseph Heller

"Joseph Heller (1923-1999), die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog diende bij de Amerikaanse luchtmacht, schreef in 1961 de klassieker Catch-22. Het geldt nog steeds als ‘het ultieme boek over de waanzin van de oorlog’. Joseph Heller schreef o.a. ook de romans Het voorval, Eerlijk als Gold, Sluitingstijd en het autobiografische Terug naar Coney Island. Op bol.com vind je alle boeken van Joseph Heller.

Résumé

Bob Slocum is anxious, bored and fearful of his job. So why is it he wants nothing more than the chance to speak at the next company convention? In this darkly satirical book, the author takes us for a turn on the maddening hamster wheel of work.

Bob Slocum is anxious, bored and fearful of his job. So why is it he wants nothing more than the chance to speak at the next company convention? In this darkly satirical book, Joseph Heller takes us for a turn on the maddening hamster wheel of work. Heller’s workplace is a cradle of paranoia, bravado and nauseating banter, forever shadowed by that perennial question, who’s really running the show here? In Heller’s hands, our daily grind has never seemed so absurd.
