根据下列材料回答 题。When IBegan reading Catch-22，I thought it was a farcical satire on life in the UnitedStates Army Air Force．Later IBelieved that Mr．Heller's target was modem war and all those whoare responsible for waging it．Still later it seemed that he was attacking social organization andanyone whoDerives power from it．ButBy the end of theBook it hadBecome plain to me that itis—no other phrase willDo—tlle human condition itself which is the object of Mr．Heller，s out．raged fhry andDisgust．
A reviewer must always keep an anxious eye on the state of his currecy．If he announcestoo many masterpieces he risks inflation(though it is sometimes forgottenBy some of US that thecowardice of perpetual crabbing(挑剔)receives its own kind of punishment)．ItDoes not seemmany weeks since l was proclaiming that Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano is one of the greatEnglish novels of the century；and not longBefore that l was urging that attention shouldBe paidto the magnificent and neglected talent of William Gerhardi．
But at th e ri sk of inflation I cannot help writing that Catch-22 is the greatest satirical workin English since Erewhon．For the fact is that all my successive interpretations of thisBook nowseem to haveBeen accurate，even if the earlier ones were also incomplete．TheBook has an im．mense andDevastating(讽刺的)theme，but this theme is illustrated，as it shouldBe，bv meaJlsof an observed reality．
I am not suggesting that Catch—22 is a realistic account of life in the war—time Air Forceof America or any other country．The method of satire is to inflate(放大)reality so that all its partially concealedBlemishes(缺点)turn into monstrous and apparentDeformations．Theefiect of good satire is to make us laugh with horror．And this means that social and personal e-vils which areBeing satirized must haveBeen there，and mustBe feltBy the reader toBe thereeyen while he is laughing at the results of the satirist's inflating imagination．
（ ）The passage seems toBe from________. A．a review of a film
