A Rare Recording of Novelist Joseph Heller

Joseph Heller (May 1, 1923 - December 12, 1999) was an American author of novels, short stories, plays, and screenplays. His best-known work is his debut novel Catch-22, published in 1961, a satire on war and bureaucracy, whose title has become a synonym for a dilemma with no easy way out. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1972 and 1975. The following recording is from a 1986 tv interview at the US Air Force Academy.
