Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Charlie Gordon, a retarded adult, undergoes a brain operation which dramatically increases his intelligence. Charlie becomes a genius. But can he cope emotionally? Can he develop relationships? And how do the psychiatrists and psychologists view Charlie—as a man or as the subject of an experiment like the mouse Algernon?
