A darkly comic and ambitious sequel to the American classic Catch-22. In Closing Time,Joseph Heller returns to the characters of Catch-22now coming to the end of their lives and the centuryas is the entire generation that fought in World War II: Yossarian and Milo Minderbinderthe chaplainand such newcomers as little Sammy Singer and giant Lewall linkedin an uneasy peace and old agefighting not the Germans this timebut The End. Closing Time deftly satirizes the realities and the myths of America in the half century since WWII: the absurdity of our politicsthe decline of our society and our great citiesthe greed and hypocrisy of our business and culture — with the same ferocious humor as Catch-22. Closing Time is outrageously funny and totally seriousand as brilliant and successful as Catch-22 itselfa fun-house mirror that capturesat once grotesquely and accuratelythe truth about ourselves.
