Final Jeopardy Explanation – Wednesday, March 22 2023
The protagonist of Joseph Heller’s darkly humorous book “Catch-22” was inspired by World War Two aviator Francis Yohannan.
While they were both bombardiers stationed on Corsica in 1944, Yohannan and Heller grew close.
The near impossibility of getting excused from risky bombing runs was the subject of Heller’s 1961 book’s title. A pilot may be prohibited from flying by being deemed mad, although being scared of such danger was viewed as practically proof of sanity.
In a 1998 interview, Heller claimed that Yohannan was whence he “got the unusual moniker for the heretical Yossarian.” In a 1974 letter, Heller stated that ““How did I feel about the war when I was in it? Much differently than Yossarian felt and much differently than I felt when I wrote the novel … In truth I enjoyed it and so did just about everyone else I served with, in training and even in combat.” This is in contrast with the satirical themes of the book.
