Reviews
Written with elegant spareness, there are no punches pulled in this portrait of Nathaniel Ayers, but God do you root and hope and pray for him. The Soloist is singularly and unforgettably true in all respects., The Soloist is an intimate portrait of mental illness, of atrocious social neglect, and the struggle to resurrect a fallen prodigy. It is also a powerful story of one journalist's search for the meaning of his own craft, for the nature of sympathy and respect., Lopez's writing is as propulsive as good fiction, and his central character is nothing if not a singularly fascinating gent...Yet for all its positive-striding spirit, Lopez's book is rife with suspense...The Soloist is inspirational but also very gritty stuff. A BookPage Notable Title., Perhaps the fact that William Hughes is an accomplished musician and a political science professor allows him to slip so easily into both the voice of free-associating, schizophrenic, homeless musical prodigy Nathaniel Ayers and the more professional voice of LA Times columnist Lopez...Hughes reads Lopez's narration with the casual authority of one telling his own story., [A] Touching Story...Hughes Reads with Appropriate Empathy, Frustration, and Concern in His Voice., Hughes renders Lopez and Ayers as a pitch-perfect duet. His soothing, sonorous tones for Lopez exhibit both gravity and grace, effectively reflecting the kindhearted reporter, who tries to help Ayers gain back his life. Equally compelling is Hughes' presentation of Ayers, whose cautious, contemplative nature is conveyed in a voice that rises just above a whisper, indicative of Ayers' myriad moods., William Hughes' easy conversational style captures the heart of this memoir...Hughes hits no wrong notes in his narration. He is especially impressive in rendering emotions that run the gamut from wonder and awe at the power of music to Ayers's random profane outbursts when paranoia kicks in.
