The Soloist: A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music by Steve López

4.0

I heard an interview with Steve Lopez on NPR and was really intrigued to read the book. Mr. Lopez is a newspaper columnist and meets a homeless street musician who was once a Juliard student. It's a fascinating look at mental illness in our country and really shows how there are no easy quick solutions to this problem. I heard there was going to be a movie about it.
