Awake in the Dark: Best of Ebert
"Awake in the Dark: The Best of Roger Ebert," just published by the University of Chicago Press, achieves a first.

"Awake in the Dark" surveys his 40-year catalog, including reviews, essays and interviews. The following is an excerpt from the book's introduction, and for the next five weeks we'll publish excerpts here from the collection's highlights in each decade, from the '60s to the '00s.
