Ebert's memoir in the works

May 15, 2010
by SUN-TIMES STAFF

Roger Ebert's next book won't just be about movies.

The Chicago Sun-Times film critic and prolific Twitterer is writing a memoir. It will cover everything from his battle with thyroid cancer to his friendship with Gene Siskel, his fellow critic and "Siskel and Ebert at the Movies" co-host who died in 1999.

Ebert says he was trying to be cagey with the announcement of the project.

"Yep, I'm writing the book," he confirmed Friday, "but I'm not talking about it. I didn't make that announcement. I subscribe to the old theatrical maxim: Don't leave it in rehearsal."

Grand Central Publishing executive editor Mitch Hoffman said Friday that the currently untitled book has a tentative release date of fall 2011. Ebert's previous works include Roger Ebert's Book of Film and I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie.
