Synopsis
Yossarian and many of the other characters from CATCH-22 are back in this sequel to the earlier novel. As blackly humorous as its predecessor, CLOSING TIME is about a vast government conspiracy that is directly connected to hell, which is populated by dead writers. When Yossarian--now 68--inadvertently finds out about this phenomenon, Heller's novel enters the blackly absurd territory of which he is a master. His characters, however, also exhibit a strain of melancholy as they mourn the passing of the old days, rail against the decline of America in general and New York City in particular, and feel the nearness of their own mortality.

Publisher's Note
More than 30 years after his Catch-22 so memorably--and hilariously--captured the ultimate absurdity of war, Heller brings his ferocious humor and intelligence to bear on what has happened since the Second World War, revisting many of the original characters, now older, if not wiser.

More than three decades after CATCH-22 captured the conscience and imagination of a generation, Joseph Heller has written the sequel to one of the most important novels of the twentieth century. CLOSING TIME revisits Yossarian, Milo Minderbinder, Chaplain Tappman and others--the characters who made CATCH-22 unforgettable, now older, if not wiser, facing not only the end of a century, but the approaching close of their lives.

Industry Reviews
"[CLOSING TIME'] contains a richness of narrative tone and of human feeling lacking in CATCH-22']."
Pritchard

"If CLOSING TIME has trouble managing its very mixed moods, it does complete CATCH-22 suitably by finally destroying the world that has always caused Yossarian such moral anguish, and it shows no more interest than its predecessor in making bad things seem bearable. For that, and for often being very funny, it deserves respect and attention."
Edwards
