Nineteen-year-old Harold Chasen is obsessed with death. He fakes suicides to shock his self-obsessed mother, drives a hearse, and attends funerals of complete strangers. Seventy-nine-year-old Maude Chardin, on the other hand, adores life. She liberates trees from city sidewalks and transplants them to the forest, paints smiles on the faces of church statues, and "borrows" cars to remind their owners that life is fleeting- here today, gone tomorrow! A chance meeting between the two turns into a madcap, whirlwind romance, and Harold learns that life is worth living, and how to play the banjo. Harold and Maude started as Colin Higgins's master's thesis at UCLA film school before being made into the 1971 film directed by Hal Ashby. The quirky, dark comedy gained a loyal cult following, and in 1997 it was selected for inclusion on the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. Higgins's novelization was released with the original film but has been out of print for more than thirty years. Fans who have seen the movie dozens of times will find this a valuable companion, as it gives fresh elements to watch for and answers many of the film's unresolved questions.… (mere)
Like everyone else, I was quite disappointed by this book. The movie is very good, but this is essentially the script turned into prose, with no additional insight into the characters, and very little beyond minimal description.
Entrée en matière assez déroutante, la rencontre entre les deux personnages est intéressante, le personnage féminin m'a beaucoup plu mais le personnage masculin m'a perturbé. Beaucoup de métaphores avec des messages optimistes sur la vie et le sens qu'on peut/veut lui donner. ( )

He smiled. He began it again. It was getting better and better, he thought, and he knew he'd have it right before he came to the end of the road.
