Book Description
================
Sequel to Catch 22

In a novel as darkly comic and audaciously ambitious as was Catch-22, Joseph
Heller has dared to write the sequel to his American classic, using many of
Catch-
22's characters, now older if not wiser, to deftly satirize the realities and the
myths of America in the half century since they fought World War II.

 In 1961, Joseph Heller's
remarkable first novel made its way immediately into the American psyche and
came to symbolize the absurdity of war and of life. Catch-22 was recognized
overnight as a classic and has sold nearly ten million copies in the United
States alone. It remains perhaps the funniest - and the most serious - novel
ever written about war, "an apocalyptic masterpiece, " in the words of one
reviewer. Now, thirty-three years later, Joseph Heller has written the sequel.
You don't have to have read Catch-22 (But then, who on earth hasn't?) to enjoy
Closing Time, which is a fully independent companion work, a comic masterpiece
in its own right, in which Heller spears the inflated balloons of our national
consciousness - the absurdity of our politics, the decline of society and our
great cities, the greed and hypocrisy of our business and culture - with the
same ferocious humor that he used against the conventional view of warfare. His
characters are those of Catch -22, 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, this time in uneasy peace and old age, fighting, not
the Germans this time, but The End. Closing Time is outrageously funny and
totally serious, and as brilliant and successful as Catch-22itself, a fun-house
mirror that captures, at once grotesquely and accurately, the truth about
ourselves.

         Closing Time (1994)
  (The second book in the Catch 22 series)
       A novel by Joseph Heller


"Catch-22", published in 1961, captured the hilarious and tragic insanity of the
times and galvanized the conscience of a generation. This - 33 years later - is
the sequel which revisits the same characters, now older but not wiser.
