  • "In closing time, a comic masterpiece in its own right, 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. Back again are characters familiar from Catch-22, including Yassarian and Milo Minderbinder, the chaplain, and little Sammy Singer, as they come to the end of their lives and the end of the century - all linked, this time, in uneasy peace and old age ... fighting not the Germans, but The End."@en
  • "The sequel to Catch-22, a satire on the realities and myths of America in the fifty years since World War II."@en
  • "The sequel to Catch-22, the classic that came to symbolize the absurdity of war, takes on politics, the greed of business, and the decline of society, bringing back most of the original major characters as they battle The End."@en
  • "Yossarian, Milo and the rest of the survivors now face the end of their lives, and the end of the century. Through the eyes of his older, wiser protagonists, Heller once again takes a scathing look at the decline, hypocrisy and absurdity of modern society and culture."
