Nathaniel's story has become a beacon for homelessness and mental health advocacy throughout the United States, as told through the book and the movie "The Soloist," but I became his friend, and I became his violin teacher, and I told him that wherever he had his violin, and wherever I had mine, I would play a lesson with him.
Nathanielův příběh se stal zdrojem inspirace pro obhajobu duševně nemocných bezdomovců po celých Spojených státech, když byl zachycen v knize a ve filmu "Sólista". Já jsem se s ním spřátelil a stal jsem se jeho učitelem hry na housle. Řekl jsem mu, že kdekoliv bude mít u sebe housle a já taky, můžeme si dát lekci hraní.
