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 评分有些常识的人都会记得,眼睛的困惑有两种,也来自两种起因,不是因为走出光明,就是因为走进光明所致,不论是人体的眼睛或心灵的眼睛,都是如此。记得这件事的人,当他们看到别人迷茫、虚弱的眼神,他们不会任意嘲笑,而会先询问这个人的灵魂是否刚从更明亮的生命走出来,因为...
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...
评分Finish this one in two sittings in one day total about 90mins. Really really a good book about people, intelligence, kindness, knowledge and life. Looking forward to reading any other books from this author. Very impressive!!
评分The psychological analysis got too complicated and just fell apart in the end.
评分又是一篇触及到“本质”的故事,第一人称的书信体非常紧凑而耐人回味。突然想起有人曾和我说,我不想你因为我的外表而认识我,我想你真正了解我。令我不解的是,何尝只是外表,看过的书、电影、爱好、甚至性格,这些所谓的“内在”,又和外表有什么本质的不同?或许其受基因和家庭的影响不亚于那张脸。年轻美丽的身体和良好的教育、自如谈吐说难道不都是“皮囊”么?剥去后我们又到底还剩下什么?
评分非常有力量的短篇。情绪在短时间内经历很大的起伏。
评分没想到会哭成这样。
