Description
"Of the stories in this collection, 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."--BOOK JACKET.
