Joseph Heller
In this book, Merrill discusses the structure and theme of every Heller novel and play, and offers a number of original interpretations of Heller's writing. Merrill argues that too much has been made of the Jewishness of the two more recent novels, Good as Gold and God Knows. He adds that they are better understood as humanistic rather than sectarian novels.
