2009 UNITED WE READ: THE SOLOIST by Steve Lopez
The Soloist:
Based on the author's remarkable friendship with Nathaniel Ayers - a homeless, schizophrenic, Juilliard-trained musician - this wonderful memoir will inspire readers and stimulate discussion and programming around the themes of homelessness, mental illness, the redemptive power of music, and the healing nature of friendship. Not only is this memoir published in hardback and paperback, but it is a major motion picture being released this spring by Dreamworks.
