It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while.

《第二十二条军规》是一部严肃的、讽刺性极强的小说。通过这部小说,约瑟夫·海勒将他眼中的美国社会展现在读者眼前。这个社会处于一种有组织的混乱、一种制度化了的疯狂之中,这个社会的一切只服从“第二十二条军规”的荒诞逻辑。这样一种病态的、荒诞的社会只有海勒的想象力才能够包容它,只有“黑色幽默”这样的创作手法才能够较好地表现它。通过“第二十二条军规”这个象征,读者也可以看到战争、美国社会及其官僚机构的荒诞、疯狂和不可理喻。由于这部小说揭示了美国社会真实的一面,因此它不仅在西方社会里具有普遍的意义并被译成十多种文字,而且对于我们中国读者认识、了解当代美国社会以及由这个社会造就的一代没有理想、没有信仰、没有人生目标的美国人,无疑具有极高的价值。这部小说的主要情节非常简单:第二次世界大战末
