Roger Ebert, cel mai cunoscut critic de film american, este foarte activ pe Twitter. Şi nu ca majoritatea celebrităţilor, promovându-şi blogul sau articolele. Comentează împotriva dreptei conservatoare, critică, laudă. Cititor avid de presă de calitate, pune deseori linkuri către narative excelente. (Şi a fost, la rândul lui, subiectul unui profil senzaţional în Esquire, scris de Chris Jones.) Cel pe care l-a pus ieri, All the things that remind me of her, mi-a amintit de alte două texte personale care m-au emoţionat. Le găsiţi pe toate mai jos - declaraţii de dragoste cum am vrea toţi să primim într-o zi.

Seeing the World Through my Wife’s Eyes

By RYAN KNIGHTON, The New York Times, 2006

MY birthday is a conflicted 24 hours. While I’m more than happy to bumble about this mortal coil looking for whatever it is we look for, my birthday also happens to mark a second beginning. The morning I turned 18, I was told I was going blind.

Alice, Off the Page

Expanding on—or maybe correcting—some of the things I wrote about my wife.

by Calvin Trillin, The New Yorker„ March 27, 2006
 
Now that it’s fashionable to reveal intimate details of married life, I can state publicly that my wife, Alice, has a weird predilection for limiting our family to three meals a day.
