Something Happened

From the acclaimed author of Catch-22 comes Something Happened—a dark, unsettling, and sharply satirical exploration of modern corporate life and the quiet despair of the American dream. Bob Slocum appears to have it all: a stable job, a suburban home, a wife and children. But beneath the surface, he is plagued by anxiety, disillusionment, and a creeping sense of dread. Through his rambling, confessional inner monologue, Heller paints a haunting portrait of a man unraveling in a world that prizes success over sanity. Bleakly funny and disturbingly honest, Something Happened is a powerful meditation on alienation, conformity, and the hidden costs of ambition.
