Something Happened by Joseph Heller This is Joseph Hellers
first novel since Catch-22 which was published in 1961 and
has become the most celebrated novel of its decade —
speaking for and to an entire American generation.
Something Happened is different from Catch-22 in both
substance and tone but it is certain to have a comparable
effect. * * * As it opens he gets the willies. At the end
he has taken command. What happens in Something Happened
happens to Bob Slocum — in his forties contending with his
office (where just about everybody is scared of somebody)
trying to come to grips with his wife (You did it she
says. You made me this way. …) with his daughter (shes
unhappy) with his son (hes having difficulties) and with
his other son and with his own past and his own present.
Like his own children like all children Slocum once was
new valuable eagerly waiting to grow into the good life
sure to come. Now he is what he is and his life is what it
is. What happened? (What happens?) Something.
