Something Happened - Joseph Heller - 1974 First Edition

A devastating portrait of American middle-class life! From the author of Catch-22 comes a darkly comic masterpiece that strips bare the anxieties of modern American life. Bob Slocum is a middle-aged corporate executive trapped in a world of meaningless meetings, office politics, and suburban conformity. Plagued by fears about his job, his marriage, his children, and his own mortality, Slocum navigates through a maze of contemporary paranoia and existential dread. Heller's unflinching portrayal of middle-class malaise reveals the psychological toll of success and the quiet desperation lurking beneath the surface of the American Dream. With razor-sharp wit and brutal honesty, this controversial novel dissects the modern condition with the same satirical brilliance that made Catch-22 a classic. - Something Happened - Joseph Heller Published 1974 (First Edition), Alfred A.
