From the Chicago Tribune:
Roger Ebert hospitalized after cancer-related surgery
Pulitzer Prize-winning movie critic Roger Ebert was in serious but stable condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital following emergency surgery related to an earlier cancer-related procedure. Ebert had surgery June 16 after a tumor from salivary cancer recurred, said his employer, WLS-Ch. 7 in information approved by Ebert’s family.
On Sunday, doctors repaired a burst blood vessel, a complication from the earlier surgery, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Ebert, a nationally syndicated writer and television host of the weekly movie review show “Ebert and Roeper,” is also employed by the Sun-Times.
The rest is here
Mr. Ebert doesn’t know me from Adam, but he is to my mind one of the best movie critics of all time. He writes from his heart, drawing from personal experience a parallel of what he sees on screen. Reading him is watching a great writer at work, and there are few things as wonderful to behold.
His rss feeds have stopped since his sickness, and there is a big hole in my day because of. I’m hoping to hear from him soon.
