This book by Mark Salzman is about a season in the life of a grown-up child music prodigy. Reinhart is an obsessive controlled cellist who struggles with his gift. His psychological state prevents him from achieving what he believes he needs to be successful. However, Mr. Salzman has written a very sensitive, believable character who is given some challenging life circumstances that propel him to seek his own truth about who he really is. I loved this book and would recommend it highly.
I searched the book because I watched a movie called The Soloist with Robert Downey Jr. and it was about a cellist also. However I remain confused because the only things in common between the movie and this book are the title and the musical instrument of the protagonist. Well, maybe there are deeper similarities but no circumstances are alike.
Would anyone like to comment about this?
