Matthew Joseph Bruccoli Bücher
Matthew J. Bruccoli war ein führender Literaturwissenschaftler und die herausragende Autorität für F. Scott Fitzgerald. Seine lebenslange Leidenschaft für Fitzgerald wurzelte in einem frühen Interesse an seiner Kurzgeschichte „Der Diamant so groß wie das Ritz“, was zu intensivem Studium und umfangreichen Schriften über das Leben und Werk des Autors des Goldenen Zeitalters führte. Bruccolis Karriere umfasste die Verfassung von über fünfzig Büchern, darunter die maßgebliche Fitzgerald-Biografie, sowie die Herausgabe von Werken sowohl von Fitzgerald als auch seiner Frau Zelda. Darüber hinaus war Bruccoli maßgeblich an der Gründung des „Dictionary of Literary Biography“, eines umfangreichen Nachschlagewerks, beteiligt und hinterließ unauslöschliche Spuren in der amerikanischen Literaturwissenschaft.

Describes the work of American writers from Faulkner to Wolfe and includes bibliographies of criticism
Прошло полвека со времени первой публикации, но "Поправка-22" по-прежнему остается краеугольным камнем американской литературы и одной из самых знаменитых книг всех времен. "Time", "Newsweek", "Modern Library", "London Observer" включили ее в списки "лучших романов", а в списке "200 лучших книг по версии BBC" она занимает 11 место. Эта оригинальная история о службе летчиков ВВС США в период Второй мировой войны полна несуразных ситуаций, не менее несуразных смешных диалогов, безумных персонажей и абсурдных бюрократических коллизий, связанных с некой не существующей на бумаге, но от этого не менее действенной "поправкой-22" в законе, гласящей о том, что "всякий, кто хочет уклониться от боевого задания, нормален и, следовательно, годен к строевой"… Это произведение сложно назвать просто антивоенным романом. Это глубокая всеобъемлющая сатира на нашу повседневность, образ жизни и принципы "цивилизованного" общества.
