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. Ayers is homeless, paranoid, and deeply troubled, but glimmers of that brilliance are still there. In the process of trying to save Ayers, Lopez finds that his own life is changing, and his sense of what one man can accomplish in the lives of others begins to expand in new ways.

Information about themes in The Soloist

The Soloist is making some rounds through the Chamber's network- Mona Herring, VP Convention and Visitors Bureau read it, I read it, Emily Day, executive aid, read it, and now it's getting passed to the Chamber's diplomats! It's been a huge hit. This has been a wonderful reading selection for sure. - Laura Beth Jackson, Business Education Partnership - Rutherford Chamber of Commerce
