VLK249 reviewed Closing Time by Joseph Heller
Review of 'Closing Time' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Old, jaded men (even a dead one) summarizing their lives between the end of Catch 22 and then. Takes a million years to find a plot to action on and meanwhile I'm stuck as a reader trying to like clusters of male characters each with torrents of nonredeemable qualities and perverse annotations about women. It ages very poorly.
Pro, is that he's good with his characterizations and world anecdotes, but it's generally an uncomfortable and arduous read.
