Murmullo

What if we could get inside Alan Turing's head? Whisper starts from this premise. Through the fictional figure of Alec Pryor -as Turing, mathematician, logician, computer scientist, cryptographer, philosopher, and ultra-distance runner-, we witness the mental processes of who was one of the fathers of computer science and managed to decipher Nazi secret codes in World War II... but who was later persecuted by the British Government for committing "indecent acts with another man" and forced to undergo a process of chemical castration. Set in the bleak period that preceded his suicide and recreating Turing's sessions with the Jungian psychiatrist Franz Greenbaum (here turned into the character of Stallbrook, the protagonist's former teacher), the novel recreates an exceptional life, the greatness and miseries of love and the dilemmas of the nature of consciousness.
