Manny Wheelman

About Manny Wheelman

Manny Wheelman is a character who needs no introduction to anyone who has spent time in the chess clubs and backstreets of Belle Isle, Leeds. Equal parts philosopher and provocateur, Manny has a habit of defeating people who underestimate him — on the chessboard and off it. A writer of essays, academic works, and sharp social commentary, his writing carries the same dry intelligence and quiet menace that has unsettled better-credentialed men for decades. Belle Isle's finest export.
