  "description": "FROM THE AUTHOR OF CATCH-22 , SOON TO BE A TV SERIES ON CHANNEL 4 Joseph Heller's other masterpiece - a darkly comic, sometimes tragic satire that does for the American Dream what Catch-22 did for the madness of war 'Joseph Heller's finest achievement' Jonathan Coe Bob Slocum was a promising executive.
