Holy shit. I knew he'd gotten sick several years ago (though I didn't remember exactly of what) but I had no idea he was THAT bad. So he's looked like that and not been able to speak for 4 years??

I appreciate his view on pretty much everything more. I didn't realize how much shit he went through and how much he was physically damaged by it. Great article. Thanks for posting it.

Chris Jones is a fantastic writer. "The Things That Carried Him" which I think is linked at the end of the Ebert story, is some of the best stuff that's been written in the last year.

I just try to ask as many questions as I can, and then I try to sit down and write a story that people will want to read. – Chris Jones

for a moment reading this i was touched by the story, and by the hope that journalists may be becoming better writers.
