In this modern adaptation of Dialogues of the Dead, Baudelaire Jones remains true to the original spirit of Lucian's dialogues, if not the details. Most of the antiquated cultural references have been updated to modern equivalents that the average reader can more easily understand, and several of Lucian's original characters have been recast with more modern counterparts, most notably: Howard Hughes, John D. Rockefeller, Anna Nicole Smith, Clarence Darrow, Sigmund Freud, Michael Moore, Saddam Hussein, and Jack the Ripper. The result is an infinitely readable and highly entertaining adaptation of a classic text.
