Summary: Harold Crick – IRS auditor, milquetoast, and poster child for obsessive-compulsive disorder – wakes one morning to hear a woman’s voice in his bathroom, narrating his life as he is living it, subsequently announcing his imminent death. This is a big problem, since Harold has a burning crush on Ana, his latest audit case. Searching for the source of the voice, he turns to literary theory-spewing professor Jules Hilburt, who eventually discovers that talented but troubled novelist Karen Eiffel is writing Harold–he is the central character of her new novel, “Death and Taxes.” The question is: will Harold’s story end as a comedy, or a tragedy?
