I really liked it. I read Something Happened a number of years ago and loved it. It's much slower than Catch-22, but it drew me in. The way Heller deals with death in his books is something that I really appreciate. Many authors force meaning into a character's death, but for Heller it's "sometimes people just die." A somewhat futilistic (if that's even a word) view, but it makes his books stand out for me. My book for this month is Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. There's also a production of Venus in Fur by David Ives being performed in Seattle that I hope to see this weekend or next.
