I've been meaning to reply to this thread, but I keep forgetting. In regards to who 'wrote' (?) it....it's not from a novel or even a short story.............:
The Soloist is based on a true story of Nathaniel Ayers, a musician who becomes schizophrenic and homeless. Nathaniel Ayers is considered a cello prodigy, and Steve Lopez is a Los Angeles Times columnist who discovers Ayers and writes a number of articles about him in the newspaper. These artivles were the basis for the story portrayed in the movie.
