This very famous novel is a classic of American literature, regularly honored the charts of the great books of the twentieth. It is about the absurdity of war in general, and military society in particular, our hero, the aviator Yossarian deploying much effort to avoid going to perform additional tasks on the Italian front of World War II World. A replay, hard not to think of the movie MASH or whole protest movement illustrated with very different styles Vonnegut, Pynchon or Kesey and other children beatniks. The book is comic and picaresque. Sometimes it's funny but the truth requires that it does not go the distance: it is not almost leave the air base and field hospital comic springs are still the same, the characters are placed in bulk and hardly subtle. So we (at least for me) feel fast in circles while the first impression was very favorable.
