The Soloist by Steve Lopez is a book, and currently a major movie about a homeless, rather old man who plays the violin. Steve learns that Nathaniel Ayers is a schizophrenic, who once, long ago attended the famous creative arts school, Juilliard.
As time passes the two men form a strong bond of friendship, and Steve can see a future for Ayers' life. For each step forward, there are five back however, the man never gives up.
Their friendships will change their lives in ways they could never have seen them change before.
I am exicited to read this, rather modern book. Even though I am only a few pages into it I am hooked. It is also based on a true story which Steve Lopez encountered. Which makes the book just that much more interesting!
