Conversations with the Devil
This is a thoroughly engaging tale of a colorful character named Jake who encounters the devil and spars with him in a battle of wits. It is a modern reinterpretation of "Faust" or "The Devil and Daniel Webster." Jake is an older man who has grown weary of the world, has no time for either God or the Devil, and is indifferent to the inducements Old Nick offers. The banter between the devil and Jake is both profound and amusing. It is easy to imagine as the basis for a screenplay with its natural flow of dialogue and unexpected ending.
