Joe Heller True story, Word of Honor: Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island. I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22' has earned in its entire history?" And Joe said, "I’ve got something he can never have." And I said, "What on earth could that be, Joe?" And Joe said, "The knowledge that I’ve got enough." Not bad! Rest in peace! – Kurt Vonnegut The New Yorker, May 16th, 2005 [I've posted this in pieces before, but the raised character limit means I can finally post the whole thing. I cut this out from TNY magazine and it hung on my fridge for years]
