The best word I can use to describe Yossarian in 1994 is 'weary.' He's an old man now a virile, sardonic old man, but an old man nonetheless. (Tappman, it turns out, has started naturally passing heavy water, a nuclear compound.) Sammy and Lew are tangentially connected to Yossarian, and to be honest, I preferred their sections to those centered on the Catch-22 characters. Their stories are much more grounded than Yossarian's, whose life gets crazy again when Chaplain Tappman finds him. ![]() The life of Yossarian and his companions make up about half the volume of the novel, the other half is written as a first person account of two other WWII vets, Sammy Singer and Lew Rabinowitz, working class Jews from Coney Island who moved up after the war. ![]() ![]() Closing Time, written more than thirty years after its predecessor, features an elderly Yossarian, who has survived the war, gone on to start a family and, eventually, work as the conscience of M & M enterprises, a major conglomerate run by Milo Minderbinder and ex-Private Wintergreen. Heller's first novel, Catch-22 (1961), is easily one of my favorite books of all time, so the existence of a sequel was both exciting and worrisome. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even Violet seems to love her little brother.

The Reys' odyssey brought them to the Spanish border, where they bought train tickets to Lisbon. Among the meager possessions they brought with them was the illustrated manuscript of Curious George. Hans built two bicycles, and they fled Paris just a few hours before it fell. As Jews, the Reys decided to flee Paris before the Nazis seized the city. Their work was interrupted with the outbreak of World War II. The result, Rafi and the Nine Monkeys, is little remembered today, but one of its characters, an adorably impish monkey named Curious George, was such a success that the couple considered writing a book just about him.
