Something Happened

"Something Happened" by Joseph Heller, first published in 1974, is a darkly comic and satirical novel that explores modern life through the lens of a man grappling with profound disillusionment. Following Bob Slocum, a middle-aged businessman, the book delves into his introspective monologues as he reflects on his career, family, and the pervasive sense of alienation and existential unease in a world he feels increasingly disconnected from.
