Despite the return of my much loved Arrested Development, Morrissey's creatively titled autobiography, "Autobiography," is shaping up to be the comedic event of the year. First came word that the Dudley Do-Right sound-alike pulled the book from its original publisher, and in seeking a new publisher, insisted that the book be put out by Penguin Classics, the branch of Penguin that publishes classic paperbacks like "Moby Dick." Then, upon release of the book, there was Buzzfeed's hilarious, and quite challenging, quiz asking "Who Said It: Morrissey or Alan Partridge." Now comes word that Moz has taken a page out of David St. Hubbins' "Namesake Series" of actors recording audio books by authors with the same last name.
Reports are that actor David Morrissey, best know in the States for playing The Governor on The Walking Dead, will record the audio book for the ex-Smiths singer's "Autobiography." No word yet on if the actor will try and imitate the singer's melodramatic croon, or just how many times the phrase "Whoah, Nell!" appears in the book.
