Closing Time (novel)
''Closing Time'' is a 1994 novel by Joseph Heller, written as a sequel to his popular 1961 novel ''Catch-22''. It takes place in New York City in the 1990s and revisits some characters of the original, including Yossarian, Milo Minderbinder, and Chaplain Tappman. The book has two stories that are interwoven throughout: that of Yossarian in the last stages of his life, and that of Sammy Singer and Lew Rabinowitz, two men from Coney Island who also fought in World War II (the Sammy Singer character makes a brief appearance in ''Catch-22'' as the tailgunner aboard Yossarian's bomber who kept waking up and fainting when he saw Yossarian trying to attend to the wounds of Snowden). As with ''Catch-22'', the topic of death is omnipresent, only in this case from usually age-related illnesses, in particular cancer rather than dying in battle, as with its predecessor. One notable inconsistency in the book is that although Yossarian was 28 in ''Catch-22'', which took place in 1944, in ''Clo ...

The True Story Of The Goodbar Murder
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pron ...

Fragile Things
''Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders'' is a collection of short stories and poetry by English author Neil Gaiman. It was published in the US and UK in 2006 by HarperCollins and Headline Review. Most of the stories in this book are reprints from other sources: magazines, anthologies, and even CD sleeves. Gaiman says in the introduction that the original title for the collection was ''These People Ought to Know Who We Are and Tell That We Were Here'', after a word balloon in a ''Little Nemo in Slumberland'' strip. This exact line also appears in the text for the included short story "Bitter Grounds". Contents * "The Mapmaker" – a very short story included in the book's introduction, originally written for '' American Gods'' * "A Study in Emerald" – a Sherlock Holmes/ Cthulhu Mythos pastiche written for the anthology '' Shadows Over Baker Street'' * "The Fairy Reel" – a short lyric poem * "October in the Chair" – dry run for ''The Graveyard Book,'' inspired by t ...

Closing Time (album)
''Closing Time'' is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits, released on March 6, 1973 on Asylum Records. Produced and arranged by former Lovin' Spoonful member Jerry Yester, ''Closing Time'' was the first of seven of Waits' major releases by Asylum. The album is noted for being predominantly folk influenced although Waits intended ''Closing Time'' to be "a jazz, piano-led album."Hoskyns, p. 49. Upon release, the album was mildly successful in the United States, although it did not chart and received little attention from music press in the United Kingdom and elsewhere internationally. Critical reaction to ''Closing Time'' was positive. The album's only single, "Ol' '55", attracted attention due to a cover version by Waits's more popular label mates, the Eagles. Other songs from the album were covered by Tim Buckley and Bette Midler.Jacobs, p. 318. The album was certified Gold in the UK and has gained a contemporary cult following among rock fans.

The Future (Leonard Cohen Album)
''The Future'' is the ninth studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released in 1992. Almost an hour in length, it was Cohen's longest album up to that date. Both the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 1992 Los Angeles riots took place while Cohen was writing and recording the album, which expressed his sense of the world's turbulence. The album was recorded with a large cast of musicians and engineers in several different studios; the credits list almost 30 female singers. The album built on the success of Cohen's previous album, ''I'm Your Man'', and garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews. ''The Future'' made the Top 40 in the UK album charts, went double platinum in Canada, and sold a quarter of a million copies in the U.S., which had previously been unenthusiastic about Cohen's albums. Background After touring successfully in support of his "comeback" album '' I'm Your Man'' (1988), Cohen took a year off to help his son Adam convalesce after a serious c ...

Closing Time (Doctor Who)
"Closing Time" is the twelfth and penultimate episode of the sixth series of the British science fiction television programme ''Doctor Who'', and was first broadcast on BBC One on 24 September 2011. It was written by Gareth Roberts and directed by Steve Hughes. It is a sequel to " The Lodger", an episode Roberts wrote for the previous series. In the episode, alien time traveller the Doctor (Matt Smith) is going on a "farewell tour" before his impending death and visits his friend Craig Owens (James Corden) in present-day Colchester, who has a new baby son, Alfie. Though not initially intending to stay, the Doctor becomes intrigued by a Cybermen invasion at a local department store. Roberts and showrunner Steven Moffat wanted to bring Craig back, having enjoyed "The Lodger" and Corden's performance. Though "Closing Time" was designed to be fun, with comedy built around the double act of Smith and Corden, it contains themes and an epilogue that lead into the finale. The episod ...
