Heller remarked latet in his career that at the time he was writing Catch--22, Kesey was writing
Cuckoo's Nest, Pynchon was writing V. , Donleavy, The Ginger Man and Vonnegut Catch--22.
He knew of the work of none of the others; he had never heard that any of them knew of each other then.
It was the sensibility turn somehow, he implies.
The biography author quotes Bruce Jay Friedman about this time. "In college, all the courses I took were
about what's wrong." Associatively implying that their work tackled that.
