Joseph Heller- Catch 22 (PDF)
There was a time when reading Joseph Heller's classic satire on the murderous insanity of war was nothing less than a rite of passage. Echoes of Yossarian, the wise-ass bombardier who was too smart to die but not smart enough to find a way out of his predicament, could be heard throughout the counterculture. As a result, it's impossible not to consider Catch-22 to be something of a period piece. But 40 years on, the novel's undiminished strength is its looking-glass logic.
Through the Looking-Glass marvellously read by Cora McDonald. Alice ponders what the world is like on the other side of a mirror, and to her surprise, is able to pass through to experience the alternate world.
