Joseph Heller's satirical novel Catch 22 was first published in 1961. Set during World War II, the title refers to a plot device that is repeatedly invoked in the story in which people who were crazy were not obliged to fly missions, but anyone who applied to stop flying was showing a rational concern for his safety and was, therefore, deemed to be sane and had to fly. By the end of the novel, the phrase Catch 22 is invoked as the explanation for many unreasonable restrictions and has since entered the English language, referring to a type of unsolvable logic puzzle sometimes called a double bind. The novel was adapted into a film in 1970 directed my Mike Nichols and starring Alan Arkin.
