Murmur Will Eaves

Vietnamese edition of Will Eaves' Murmur, a novel which earned him Welcome Book Prize and Republic of Consciousness Prize, has also been shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award, Goldsmiths Prize, and James Tait Black Prize, and longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize. Its first chapter was shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award... The novel is a story of a brilliant Alec Pryor, based on the real life Alec Turing, the father of artificial intelligence, who was able to bread the German secret code--Nazi Enigma cipher-- during World War II, and thus saved thousands of lives... But in the end the brilliant code breaker was sadly mistreated because he was a homosexual... Vietnamese translation by Hien Anh.
