Wrestling star (and local Winnipeg boy) Chris Jericho will be at our Grant Park location in Winnipeg on Thursday, November 15. He'll be reading, signing and answering questions about his new book A Lion’s Tale: Around the World in Spandex.

You might think that this is another one of those big name entertainment confessional type books. I did- but then I saw this interview on bookvideos.tv. Jericho (who studied journalism early on) is delightful as he compares wrestling entertainment to Shakepeare and his autobiography to War and Peace and The Catcher in the Rye. The slight twinkle in his eye as he does so lets us all in on what he's up to- and that he's got a sense of humour every Winnipegger will recognize as home-grown.

Too bad the cover-art doesn't get this across.

You can watch a YouTube version after the jump.
