Catch-22 was a first novel which passed into folklore and became a world best seller and an expensive and successful film.
This week, 13 years after Catch-22 came out, its author Joseph Heller has his second novel published. It's called Something Happened. Robert Robinson talked to Heller in New York about his new book and about Catch-22, and went with him to City College in Harlem where Heller teaches creative writing.
Also this week, novelist Anthony Burgess pays homage to Flann O'Brien , the Dublin journalist who died scarcely recognised in 1967 and whose 1939 publication At Swim Two Birds is rated by some as a modern classic of comic fiction.
