Autobiography of the writer of Catch-22. Not your usual Joseph Heller. Some interesting details of life on Coney Island as he was growing up, but a bit of redundancy throughout the book. Several jumps forward or back in time are distracting. There are some interesting background on Catch-22 and his experiences as a bombardier that filter into that book.
