The soloist post #2

At the beginning of the novel, we are introduced to a man named Nathaniel Ayers, who is a schizophrenic. The narrator of the book was Steve Lopez who is actually the author of the book. I thought that it was a very interesting way to write a book. Anyways, Lopez stumbles upon Ayers whilst walking through the streets of Los Angeles. Nathaniel was playing Beethoven on a violin that had two strings out of four which i find quite impressive. Many of us will just look at Nathaniel as another hobo on the street, but Steve Lopez saw a man with passion for what he loves and Lopez, passionate about his profession finds interest in this mysterious man.
