“Closing Time” is a sequel to Joseph Heller's iconic “Catch-22,” a book that made us laugh, cry, and question the sanity of literally everything. The first novel, now a staple of American literature, captured the chaos of World War II through the eyes of American pilots. Absurd orders, death-fearing soldiers, and questionable heroics. Just like life, it was hilarious and depressing all at once.

In “Closing Time,” the war is over — sort of. Welcome to New York City in the 1990s, where the absurdity has only gotten bigger. The same characters return, only 50 years older and less concerned about dodging bombs than about dodging heart attacks. Forget enemy fire— high cholesterol and blood pressure are the real threats now. But don’t worry, they’re still up to no good, getting tangled in sketchy deals and tricky decisions.
