Daniel Keyes (born August 9, 1927) is an American author best known for his Hugo award-winning short story and Nebula award-winning novel Flowers for Algernon. Keyes was given the Author Emeritus honor by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2000.
The story is told through a series of journal entries written by the story's protagonist, Charlie Gordon, a man with an IQ of 68 who works a menial job. He is selected to undergo an experimental surgical technique to increase his intelligence. The technique has already been successfully tested on Algernon, a laboratory mouse. The surgery on Charlie is also a success and his IQ triples.
Charlie falls in love with his former teacher, Miss Kinnian, but as his intelligence increases, he surpasses her intellectually and they become unable to relate to each other. Also, his new intelligence scares his co-workers at his job; they start a petition to have him fired and, when Charlie finds out about it, he quits. As Charlie's intelligence peaks, Algernon suddenly declines — losing his increased intelligence and dying shortly afterward. Charlie discovers that his intelligence increase is also only temporary. Unable to do anything to prevent the change, Charlie ultimately reverts to his original mental state in a swift reversal of his original growth. He tries to return to his original life and job but cannot stand everyone feeling sorry for him so he decides to move away. His last wish before he leaves is that someone put flowers on Algernon's grave.

评分首先要说明一下,这本书,是一本收录了《献给阿尔吉侬的花束》最初中篇版本的一本中短篇选集,而并非是《献给阿尔吉侬的花束》这一部作品。选集的篇目由美国科幻作家协会SFWA300位成员票选得出,颇具代表性和经典性。 博尔赫斯说,如果有天堂,天堂应该是图书馆的模样。倘若...
评分已经很久没有推荐给别人什么书,最近凑了几日坐地铁的时间,重读了这本《献给阿尔吉侬的花束》,也顺路把 Kindle 版发送给说是感兴趣的人,对方隔了几日告诉我,这个版本不好,通篇错别字。我笑笑,那你删掉吧。 第一次读是在青岛的如是书店,冬天,外面下着冷雨,地上结了冰...

电影Every Thing不科学,女主写书评居然无动于衷,而我就是因为在此电影中瞥了一眼这个熟悉却没看过的书名,就有了这大半夜哭得稀里哗啦。 So far the best story I've read this year.
