Yossarian Slept Here: When Joseph Heller was Dad and Life was a Catch-22
Erica Heller
A fascinating, moving and witty memoir by Joseph Heller’s daughter, about life with her famous father. ‘You’re Joseph Heller’s daughter? How terrific!’ But was there a catch? Like his most famous work, Joseph Heller was a study in contradictions- eccentric, brilliant and voracious, but also mercurial, competitive, and stubborn, with a love of mischief that sometimes cut too close to the bone. Yossarian Slept Here is a daughter’s darkly funny, poignant memoir about growing up a Heller - from her colourful family members and her parents' tumultuous marriage, to her father’s celebrity friends and the family’s eccentric neighbours. This is a story about achieving a dream, about fame and its aftermath, about squandered opportunities, lasting love and family.
