CLOSING TIME

In Heller's sequel to Catch-22 the characters who faced the insanities of WWII, Yossarian, Milo Minder-binder, the chaplain and Sammy Singer, are in the present, facing yet another crazy world. Elliott Gould's reading, brimming with irony and fun, matches Heller's unique sense of humor. At some points, however, it's hard to differentiate between one character and another. Any sense of lengthiness is due to the convolutions of plot and character, not to Gould's performance. A.A.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG 95]
