THE SOLOIST – Reading Group Choices

nbsp;Now a major motion picture—”An intimate portrait of mental illness, of atrocious social neglect, and the struggle to resurrect a fallen prodigy.” –Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down) When Steve Lopez saw Nathaniel Ayers playing his heart out on a two-string violin on Los Angeles’ skid row, he found it impossible to walk away. More than thirty years earlier, Ayers had been a promising classical bass student at Juilliard—ambitious, charming, and also one of the few African-Americans—until he gradually lost his ability to function, overcome by schizophrenia.
