Published to great acclaim and adapted to film 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. As the
novel opens, Griffin, down to his last 6 million dollars, is
broke. He has one last desperate plan, to quit the studio
and convince Phil Ginsberg, an almost billionaire, to become
his partner. Ginsberg takes the bait when Griffin donates
750 thousand dollars to the Coldwater Academy, the elite
private high school that Ginsberg's son attends. He sees the
potential in Griffin, a master of stories, and hires him to
write one starring his 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. While Griffin's ideas barely
percolate, his personal life is falling apart. 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 commits another murder when his plan nearly collapses. With The Return of the Player Tolkin delivers another
brilliant, incisive portrait of contemporary society gone
out of control.
