Her onlyremaining challenge is to figure out a way to kill her main character, butlittle does she know that Harold Crick is alive and well and inexplicably aware of her words and her plans for him. To make matters worse, Kay'spublisher has dispatched a hard-nosed "assistant," Penny Escher, to forceKay to finish her novel and finish off Harold Crick. Desperate to take control of his destiny and avoid an untimely demise, Harold seeks help froma literary theorist named Jules Hilbert, who suggests that Harold might beable to change his fate by turning his story from a tragedy into a comedy. Professor Hilbert suggests that Harold try to follow one of comedy's mostelemental formulas: a love story between two people who hate each other.
