It's been four years since his last live performance, and his manager is intent on revitalizing his career with a big concert at Carnegie Hall. As if that wouldn't be enough for Max to worry about, as he struggles to prepare, the ghosts of his failed relationships have come to haunt him &#8212; his first ex-wife is dying, his second ex-wife wants to get back together, the mother of his child has taken off for Europe and unexpectedly left him to care for their nine-year-old, and his present girlfriend now wants to get serious.

Like an exhilarating performance, <i>The Soloist</i> takes you on a brilliant adventure that resonates even once it's over.</div></div> 1881638 1986 The Soloist: A Novel total:14|5:1|4:5|3:7|2:1| 14 48 25 5 3 0 false false Mon Apr 27 07:27:34 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 07:29:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Aug 27 16:06:18 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 27 16:06:18 -0700 2007
