CHICAGO — Roger Ebert will resume writing reviews this month but will not rejoin his syndicated TV show because he’s still unable to speak.

In a letter in Tuesday’s Chicago Sun-Times, the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic and co-host of TV’s “Ebert & Roeper” said surgery in January to address previous complications from the removal of cancerous tumors in his throat failed to restore his ability to speak.

“But I still have all my other abilities, including the love of viewing movies and writing about them,” Ebert, 65, said in the letter.
