Alan Turing’s short story, titled "Pryce’s Buoy," was transcribed by Sarah Dillon, a professor of English literature at the University of Cambridge, and reported in the Review of English Studies. The manuscript, held in the King’s College, Cambridge archives, was written in late 1952 or early 1953, shortly after Turing’s arrest for gross indecency. The six‑page story depicts a working‑class character named Ron Miller and a scientist, Alec Pryce, who is believed to reflect Turing’s own experiences. The narrative explores a brief, uncertain encounter between the two men and includes dialogue about sexual services and personal desire. The story’s setting moves from a park bench to a restaurant, and its language conveys hesitancy and internal conflict about a possible sexual encounter. Dillon said the text demonstrates Turing’s ability to portray nuanced emotional tension without relying on explicit description. Dillon noted that the story’s tone contrasts with the portrayal of Turing in the 2014 film The Imitation Game, which depicts him as humorless and solitary. She said the film contains several historical inaccuracies and presents a one‑dimensional version of the mathematician. According to Dillon, the story shows that Turing was engaged with literature and enjoyed life, countering the common view of him as isolated and solely logical. She also identified clear influences from Angus Wilson’s gay novel Hemlock and After, indicating that Turing used existing literary models while developing his own narrative technique. The manuscript had previously been known to Turing scholars but remained largely unexamined because of its difficult handwriting and its status as a sidelined literary piece. Dillon’s analysis highlights the story as evidence that Turing’s personal life included playful and cheeky elements, as well as an openness about his sexuality. The publication of the story offers scholars a new perspective on Turing’s multifaceted identity and invites further research into the relationship between his scientific work and his literary interests.
