From Horror to Humour: Tracing parody in Joseph Heller’s "Catch-22"

Leading on from this notion of parody as "a distorted irnitation of a known text with conscious and recognizable humour" and also the one given by Linda Hutcheon in A Poetics of Postmodernism ("repetition with difference, not necessarily comic"), this paper is going to deal with the analysis of parody firstly regarding previous war American novels, secondly as represented by Yossarian, the protagonist of Heller's Catch-22 (1961), thirdly in the story of the novel ("the romance quest") and finally in relation to Ernest Hemingway' s A Farewell to Arms (1929).
