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 your host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel, Catch-22, has made 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!
