Synopsis

Something Happened is a 1974 novel by Joseph Heller. His second novel (release thirteen years after Catch-22), it turns the focus of the same jaundiced eye from life in the military to the work and home life of Corporate Man living the American Dream. Something Happened has a much darker tone than its predecessor.

About BookRanger

When viewing book listings on the BookRanger site at biblio.com, you might notice a frequent redundency of descriptive terms such as "clean", "bright", "square", and "unmarked".
This is because we do not buy books blindly in mass purchases. All of our books are hand-picked for such qualities as condition, subject matter, scarcity, and overall appeal. On rare occasions, a book's physical condition may fall below our normal standards, due to scarcity of the particular title or edition. In any case, we make every attempt to use only the descriptive terms which accurately depict the particular book offered for sale.
