Ever since Roger Ebert's most recent go-round with thyroid cancer, he's lost the use of speech, which means that he probably writes more than ever. His wonderful blog on the Sun-Times Web site is a great resource for intelligent writing about movies, but it's equally so for intelligent writing about everything, including art. His recent post on artist Chris Burden's piece "Doomed," performed in 1975 and covered at the time by Ebert (this is a revisiting of the territory and his original article) is a great example: long form, reflective, considered and just generally worth the reading (as well as somewhat theological, as many of Ebert's posts have been lately).
