"The Closed Circle" is Jonathan Coe`s hilarious sequel to "The Rotters` Club". It`s the end of the century and Benjamin Trotter and friends are all grown up. Life is a ceaseless whirl of jobs, marriages, kids - and self-inflicted angst. Despite the shiny optimism of Blair`s Britain, youthful hopes and dreams feel betrayed. Is the Government (and by extension Benjamin`s MP brother Paul) to blame? Or are the `rotters` themselves - only passingly faithful to their dreams - really at fault?

A reissue of the breath-taking sequel to CATCH-22 - now a classic in its own right. Forty-two years ago Joseph Heller wrote the 20th century masterpiece CATCH-22, capturing the hilarious and tragic insanity of the times and galvanising the conscience of a generation. In the sequel, CLOSING TIME, he revisits many of the characters - now older, if not wiser - that made CATCH-22 so unforgettable: Yossarian, Milo Minderbinder, Chaplain Tappman, Sammy Singer and giant Lew, all linked in uneasy peace and old age, fighting not the Germans this time, but The End. CLOSING TIME is a stunning achievement; a chilling, darkly funny depiction of the moral collapse of the Western world.
Keisha Ceylon is a psychic. At least, that`s what she passes herself off as. The truth is, Keisha`s real powers have more to do with separating troubled families from their money than actually seeing into the netherworld. Keisha watches the news for stories of missing family members. She gives it a few days, then moves in, tells these families she`s had a vision, that she may have some clue to where these missing people are. And by the way, she charges for this service, and likes to see the money up front. Keisha`s latest mark is a man whose wife disappeared a week ago. She`s seen him on TV, pleading for his wife to come home, or, if she`s been abducted, pleading with whoever took her to let her go. Keisha knows a payoff when she sees...
