#BookishFunFact: Did you know Joseph Heller was all set to name his WW2 classic Catch-18 when his publisher learned the much more famous Leon Uris was coming out with Mila 18 and they decided to change the name? If not for Uris we‘d all be going around saying, “that‘s a Catch-18.” 🤓

Under Fire: The Story of a Squad (Le Feu). | Henri Barbusse

New to #serialreader - Henri Barbusse‘s novel based on his experiences as a French solider in WWI. One of the first novels published after the war, it was remarkable for its gritty realistic depiction of the conflict. It joins a growing list of First World War literature available in Serial Reader https://www.serialreader.org/blog/first-world-war-stories/
