In this follow-up to "The Player," the Hollywood classic that was adapted into the celebrated movie by Robert Altman, Tolkin again delivers a brilliant, incisive portrait of power, wealth, and family in contemporary society gone out of control with greed and excess.
In THE RETURN OF THE PLAYER, film executive Griffin Mill, who got away with murder, is out to make a killing. Determined to escape Hollywood and a world he believes is dying, Griffin needs a safe haven, a private island somewhere in the South Pacific with an airstrip and high ground. But he's broke. He has one desperate plan, to quit the studio and convince Phil Ginsberg, an almost-billionaire, to become his partner. Meanwhile, his personal life is falling apart. He is impotent and allergic to Viagra. His second marriage is broken, and he's beginning to think he shouldn't have divorced his first wife. And if that's not enough, Griffin even has to commit another murder when his plan nearly collapses. Tolkin again delivers a brilliant, incisive portrait of power, wealth, family, and contemporary society gone out of control.
