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.

評分 評分 評分好像是八年前,第一次看到这部作品,在《科幻世界》上,周六中午放学,趴在床上看的,当时就被感动得一塌糊涂。以至于我在档案文件会把她认作最感人的作品。 记得当时的文前介绍说,她原来是上世纪30年代的一部舞台剧,历久不衰,感人至深,曾获轰动。 后来被改...
評分格里高尔从不安的睡梦中醒来,发现自己变成了一只大甲虫,悲剧的是,它还是一只能够思考、有自我意识的大甲虫。这让人不可思议的异化,让可怜的小职员彻底滑入孤独死去的深渊。读者在卡夫卡“超现实”的故事中感到阵阵寒意,其间所描述的人世态炎凉、人际冷暖,尤其是亲情的虚...
