Synopsis
A darkly comic and ambitious sequel to the American classic Catch-22. In Closing Time, Joseph Heller returns to the characters of Catch-22, now coming to the end of their lives and the century, as is the entire generation that fought in World War II: Yossarian and Milo Minderbinder, the chaplain, and such newcomers as little Sammy Singer and giant Lew, all linked, in an uneasy peace and old age, fighting not the Germans this time, but The End. Closing Time deftly satirizes the realities and the myths of America in the half century since WWII: the absurdity of our politics, the decline of our society and our great cities, the greed and hypocrisy of our business and culture -- with the same ferocious humor as Catch-22. Closing Time is outrageously funny and totally serious, and as brilliant and successful as Catch-22 itself, a fun-house mirror that captures, at once grotesquely and accurately, the truth about ourselves., A darkly comic and ambitious sequel to the American classicCatch-22.

    Advertised as new but, has creases as if it is used. As for the shipping, I ordered it late at night on a Tuesday and it was delivered on a Saturday. It went from Illinois to Texas in 3 1/2 days and arrived 6 days before the quoted delivery date. Pretty impressive. Good eBayer that I would consider buying from again. Thank you!

  • Closing Time

    You need to read Catch--22 first because there are references to things that happened then in this book which tells what happened to all the characters later in life as they look back on their war service and how their lives turned out. I read it because I wanted to find out what happened to Yosarian after he deserted. Different chapters are told by different people, and the character development is wonderful. I would have given five stars except for the accounts of what was going on underground which were way too unbelievable for me.
