"I only lie when it's necessary." Milo Minderbinder to Yossarian. The payoff is in the character structure. Only one chapter of action is necessary and exists (19. Snowden), and All comes together. It's war kids, Catch22 ; only the insane get to leave bc wanting to stay at war is in fact crazy , but as Yossarian is all too sane, he's too aware to be sent home. He can't escape because he knows its all wrong. If he were into the war and horror, then he'd be discharged. To know is to lose, to win is not to understand .
What do You think about Joseph Heller's Catch 22 (Monarch Notes) (1988)?
