  • "When journalist Steve Lopez sees Nathaniel Ayers playing his heart out on a two-string violin on Los Angeles's skid row, he finds it impossible to walk away. More than thirty years ago, Ayers was a promising classical bass student at Juilliard-ambiti ous, charming, and also one of the few African-Americans-until he gradually lost his ability to function, overcome by schizophrenia. Over time, the two men form a bond and Lopez imagines that he might be able to change Ayers's life. The Soloist is a beautifully told story of devotion in the face of seemingly unbeatable challenges."
  • "When Steve Lopez sees Nathaniel Ayers playing his heart out on Los Angeles' Skid Row, he finds it impossible to walk away. More than thirty years ago, Ayers was a promising student at Juilliard Music Academy - ambitious, charming and hugely talented - until he gradually lost his ability to function, overcome by schizophrenia. When Lopez finds him, Ayers is homeless and paranoid, but glimmers of his earlier brilliance are still there. Over time, the two men form a bond, and Lopez imagines that he might be able to change Ayers' life. For each triumph, there is a crashing disappointment, yet neither man gives up. Their friendship will change both of their lives in ways that neither could predict."
  • "Eine bewegende wahre Geschichte von Menschlichkeit, Hilfsbereitschaft und der Magie der Musik Auf dem Weg in sein Büro bei der Los Angeles Times hastet Steve Lopez durch das Armenviertel der Stadt, als er Nathaniel Ayers hört, der sich auf einer Violine, die nur noch zwei Saiten hat, das Herz aus seiner Seele geigt. Lopez bleibt stehen, spricht mit ihm und schreibt eine Kolumne über den verstörten, aber brillanten Musiker, der ein hochbegabter Student des Elitekonservatoriums Juilliard School war, bevor er an Schizophrenie erkrankte. Damit beginnt eine ungewöhnliche Freundschaft, die das Leben beider Männer grundlegend verändert. Intelligent, berührend, humorvoll und poetisch. Mit Oscar-Preisträger Jamie Foxx und Robert Downey jr. verfilmt!"
