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. But this time they are fighting not
the Germans, but The End. Closing Time deftly satirizes the
realities and the myths of America post WWII: the absurdity of
their politics, the decline of their society and their great
cities, the greed and hypocrisy of their business and culture -
with the same ferocious humour as Catch-22. This novel is a
stunning achievement; a chilling, darkly funny depiction of the
moral collapse of the Western world.
