Staff Writer
he main consequence of Joseph'
Heller's taking up permanent residence in East Hampton, Long
Island, is that his literary output soared. The novelist, who saw 13
years pass between the publication of his first novel Catch-22 in
1961 and the publication of his second novel Something Happened
in 1974, is now, relatively speaking, churning them out.
"God Knows (his fourth novel, published in 1984) was sup-
posed to take three years. I finished it in less than a year and a
half."
His third novel, Good As Gold, appeared in 1979. Heller is also
the author of a play, We Bombed in New Haven, 1968, and a work of
non-fiction, No Laughing Matter, 1986. The author will be in Ann
Arbor Sunday to discuss these works and his life as a writer, at 8
