Yes, I know it's not really a sports book, but Ebert did begin his writing career as a sportswriter, so I think it's appropriate. Especially when I compare it to Robert Lipsyte's memoir, "An Accidental Sportswriter."
In short, Ebert's memoir is outstanding. You can read my thoughts here.
And a special thanks to our immensely talented film friend in Brooklyn, R. Kurt Osenlund, for the book.
I review movies for ICON and The Weekender along with blogging regularly at Entertainment Tell. My writing has appeared in the New York Times, Grantland, the Christian Science Monitor, Deadspin, MAD, Publishers Weekly, New Jersey Monthly, Philadelphia, and the Star-Ledger. I live with my wife, piano professor and instructor Laura Amoriello (www.lauraamoriello.com), in Bucks County, PA. Follow me on Twitter, @PeteCroatto.
