Plot : 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.
