Black Humor Books: Catch 22 & Other Grim Jokes

Catch-22 by Joseph HellerAbeBooks: Black Humor Books: Catch 22 & Other Grim Jokes: Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 was published in June 1961 just as the American involvement in the Vietnam War was escalating. You have probably read Catch-22 (and if you haven’t then you are missing out). This book is one of the blackest examples of black humor, also known as black comedy or dark humor, but there are many more novels written in the same vein.
