Decades after the madness of Catch-22, Yossarian and his wartime comrades are older, wearier, and still fighting battles no one can win. Only now, the enemies aren’t foreign—they’re time, mortality, and the crumbling ideals of a nation grown cynical. Alongside schemers like Milo Minderbinder, the weary chaplain, and a new generation of misfits, Yossarian faces the absurdities of modern life with the same dark wit that made him unforgettable.
Joseph Heller’s Closing Time revisits the haunted survivors of World War II as they grapple with the end of their youth, their century, and their illusions. Both biting and deeply human, this long-awaited sequel transforms laughter into lament, proving that even after the war ends, the struggle to stay sane never does.
