Synopsis:

The only book tie-in to the major Columbia Pictures film starring Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah, and Emma Thompson, directed by Marc Forster.

In this inventive comedy, a novelist (Emma Thompson) struggles to complete her latest, and potentially finest, book-she only has to find a way to kill off her main character, IRS agent Harold Crick, and she'll be done. Little does she know that Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) is inexplicably alive and well in the real world and suddenly aware of her words. Fiction and reality collide when the bewildered and hilariously resistant Harold hears what she has in mind and realizes he must find a way to change her (and his) ending. Stranger Than Fiction sustains an elaborate balancing act between comedy and tragedy as one man awakens to his true nature.
