THE SOLOIST won the USA PEN Award for literary non-fiction.

Lopez, a Los Angeles time journalist, wrote a series of columns about Nathaniel Ayers before writing this journal of Ayers and the relationship Lopez developed with him.

Ayers was a Julliard schooled musician who ended up with a mental breakdown, living on skid row on the Los Angeles streets and playing a two-string violin.

Lopez was moved by Ayers street playing and became involved in trying to help him. This is their true tale.

The national best-selling book inspired the film THE SOLOIST, which stars Robert Downey, Jr. as Lopez.
