I like Yossarian for his weakness as much as anything. Most literary anti heroes actually do and say pretty much the same things. Not Yossarian. He is as Coluber describes him and will outlast the others.
There is a sequel to "Catch 22." I haven't read it, and I like the unresolved ending of the original book and movie, but I would be interested in hearing about the book. Has anybody here read it?
never heard of it. Who would be the author?
For the prototypical mind-numbingly clueless career officer. there is no one like Lt. (later Gen.) Scheisskopf. His name says it all.
It's a whole constellation of perfectly drawn chracters.
Here's the sequel:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0684804506/104-4681502-1011108?v=glance
I plan to buy that one when I get the opportunity. Who knows; I might even like it.
