We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRoger Ebert is the best-known film critic of our time. He has been reviewing films for the \u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times\u003c\/i\u003e since 1967, and was the first film critic ever to win a Pulitzer Prize. He has appeared on television for four decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In 2006, complications from thyroid cancer treatment resulted in the loss of his ability to eat, drink, or speak. But with the loss of his voice, Ebert has only become a more prolific and influential writer. And now, for the first time, he tells the full, dramatic story of his life and career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this candid, personal history, Ebert chronicles it all: his loves, losses, and obsessions; his struggle and recovery from alcoholism; his marriage; his politics; and his spiritual beliefs. He writes about his years at the \u003ci\u003eSun-Times\u003c\/i\u003e, his colorful newspaper friends, and his life-changing collaboration with Gene Siskel. He shares his insights into movie stars and directors like John Wayne and Martin Scorsese. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is a story that only Roger Ebert could tell. Filled with the same deep insight, dry wit, and sharp observations that his readers have long cherished, this is more than a memoir -- it is a singular, warm-hearted, inspiring look at life itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoger Ebert\u003c\/b\u003e won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1975, and his reviews were syndicated in newspapers around the world.
