Author: Steve Lopez
2 past events. Vroman's Bookstore: Steve Lopez discusses and signs The Soloist (April 18 at 19:00) When Lopez, an L.A. Times columnist, first saw Nathaniel Ayers in March 2005, he was intrigued. Dressed in grubby, soiled rags standing next to a shopping cart, the middle-aged man was playing Beethoven on a battered violin that looked as if it had been pulled from a dumpster. Lopez found it impossible ... (more)to walk away from this musical genius whose talent had been buried under years of untreated mental illness, and what originally started out as a simple column has become a moving story about second chances and the power of human connection & friendships.

What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. |
