Today on KCRW's Bookworm: Michael Tolkin, author of The Return of the
Player (Grove, $24, 0802118011), the sequel to The Player, which Robert
Altman made into a striking film. As the show put it, "In this
conversation, the subject of the immorality of Hollywood gives way to
the subject of the immorality of wealth, which in turn, surprisingly,
gives way to the question of whether the soul exists. If the soul does
not exist, is there any immorality? Do fictional characters have souls?
Gradually we uncover the moral equations underlying Tolkin's universe."
