Catch as Catch Can. The Collected Stories and Other Writings.

First edition of Joseph Heller's Catch as Catch Can

Joseph Heller; edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli and Park Bucker
First edition. 8vo. Pp. xviii, 333. Quarter-bound blue cloth over speckled cream boards, lettered in gilt to spine. Edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli and Park Bucker.
A collection of short stories and other miscellaneous writings by the author. Of the stories collected here, thirteen were written before 1961, when Catch-22 was published; of those, five have never before been published. After Catch-22, Heller forsook the short story form. Though five stories were published after 1961, one – "World Full of Great Cities" – was actually written in 1949, three of the other four are spin-offs of Catch-22, and one is a preview of Closing Time. Rounding out this collection of the complete published short writings of Joseph Heller are a short play and several nonfiction pieces, mostly related to Catch-22.
