New Orleans Businessman Tyris Mcknight Is Releasing His New Book Walking Enigmas: A Lesson In Human Chess!

You may be familiar with Tyris McKnight from stories that we have covered on him in the past. When we talk about him, we usually are covering his film work like New Orleans 2030 (releasing 12/17). This particular story is covering a book that he has been working on for some time now! Walking Enigmas is a booked centered around a New Orleans man named Theodore Milton.

An enigma can be defined as a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. Those kinds of people have layers and layers of mystery to them that no one may be able to understand, even the people closest to them. As human beings we will always attempt to get a better understanding of the actions of the people we love. What we don’t want to admit to ourselves is that it’s because of our selfish need to have an advantage over the ones that we say we love. In fact we are all playing a game of chess with each other to get the things that we need to survive.

Everyday we move into our positions to checkmate the people in this world. If we are being honest with ourselves we all want to leave a mark that this world will never forget. This is the story of a man who is playing the game of chess with ruthlessness. Theodore Milton is a man from New Orleans, Louisiana whose father once ruled the underground economy with an iron fist before being shot down. Theodore has taken it upon himself to pick up where his father had left off and pick up his crown to the underground kingdom.
