Starting in 1945, with the publication in Story magazine of the short story "I Don't Love You Anymore," Heller began to reach out to an audience of readers damaged and disillusioned by their experiences during World War II. That story dealt with the return home of an American soldier who was having more than a little trouble adjusting. The stories published following this debut continued to reflect people at odds with the world around them, usually featuring the "little guy," the "underdog," the "average Joe" who beats the odds by surviving in a generally hostile and unwelcoming world. Written in what is termed the "New York Style," his were stories of urban naturalism, realistic and straightforward, emulating the work of such writers as Irwin Shaw, William Saroyan, John O'Hara, and, perhaps most especially, Nelson Algren. For Heller, writing these stories was a part of the learning process, his education on how to get across his own point of view, leading up to the publication of his masterpiece, Catch-22. 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. 700 1 $a Bruccoli, Matthew Joseph, $d 1931- 700 1 $a Bucker, Park. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/simon053/2002042875.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/simon033/2002042875.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0645/2002042875-s.html 941 $a 10 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722012939.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926083037.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006025654.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20170523013134.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160820050844.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=216B13F82B0211DE8159B907A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
