Reviews
[A] surely crafted novel . . . that defines the machinery of moviedom in incisive, vivid strokes . . . a winning black comedy. Tolkin writes keenly, with a cynical eye for the machinations of the entertainment biz. . . .A hilarious indictment of contemporary Hollywood's ruling mentality. In its wry, acerbic description of the world behind the studio gates Tolkin's book recalls F. Scott Fitzgerald . . . and the vengeful comedy of Nathaniel West's The Day of the Locust.

After getting away with murder, Griffin has risen up the ranks of the studio--but not to the top., Published to great acclaim and adapted into a celebrated movie by Robert Altman, "The Player" was a brilliant satire of Hollywood. Now, it's 15 years later and film executive Griffin Mill is back. After getting away with murder, Griffin has risen up the ranks of the studio--but not to the top., Published to great acclaim and adapted into a celebrated movie by Robert Altman, The Player was a brilliant satire of Hollywood that has become a cult classic. Now, it's fifteen years later and film executive Griffin Mill is back. After getting away with murder, Griffin has risen up the ranks of the studio--but not to the top. As the novel opens, Griffin, down to his last $6 million, is broke, In his world of private-school tuitions, therapists, alimony payments, and multiple homes, he has just enough to survive, and nowhere near the millions he needs to buy a private island high enough above sea level for safe haven from a world he is certain is on the brink of social and environmental collapse. He has one last desperate plan, to quit the studio and convince Phil Ginsberg, an almost billionaire who aspires to "really savage wealth," to become his partner. Ginsberg takes the bait when Griffin donates $750,000 to the Coldwater Academy, the elite private high school Ginsberg's son attends, and to which Griffin's son has been admitted. Ginsberg and his partner, Gunther Hitt, see the potential in Griffin, a master of stories, and hire him to write one starring their money. It looks like Griffin's dream is on track, but he soon discovers that he has taken on more than he could have imagined when he is given an office and a mysterious assistant--and locked in without a computer, a telephone, or even a desk, only a rocking chair and his thoughts. And no salary. While Griffin's ideas barely percolate, his personal life is falling apart. He is impotent and allergic to Viagra. His second marriage is broken, perhaps permanently, and he's beginning to think he shouldn't have divorced his firstwife. Child Services is threatening to put his daughter into protective custody after his wife hits her in public. And if that's not enough, Griffin even has to commit another murder when his plan nearly collapses. With The Return of the Player Tolkin again delivers a brilliant, incisive portrait of contemporary society gone out of control. But as the Player says, "Happy endings. Always happy endings.", Published to great acclaim and adapted into a celebrated movie by Robert Altman, The Player defined the new Hollywood and became a cult classic. In The Return of the Player , film executive Griffin Mill, who got away with murder, is out to make a killing. Determined to escape a Hollywood and a world he believes are dying, Griffin needs a safe haven, a private island somewhere in the South Pacific with an airstrip and high ground. But he's broke, down to his last $6 million.
