Title: The Soloist
Author: Steve Lopez
Non-fiction. I'm only about five chapters into in, but I'm already really enjoying this book. It's an account given by a columnist of a homeless man, Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, who is a prodigy on string instruments. So far, I'm just loving reading about this incredibly talented but also greatly disturbed alumnus of the Julliard school in Manhattan, who, while in a destitute situation, gets by on his passion for music, specifically Beethoven.
I'm going to go back and sit in the sun, and read a couple more chapters of this book!
