Charlie Gordon knows that he isn't very bright. At 32, he mops floors in
a bakery and earns just enough to get by. Three evenings a week, he
studies at a center for mentally challenged adults. But all of this is
about to change for Charlie. As part of a daring experiment, doctors are
going to perform surgery on Charlie's brain.
They hope the operation
and special medication will increase his intelligence, just as it has
for the laboratory mouse, Algernon. Meanwhile, each day Charlie keeps a
diary of what is happening to him. This is his poignant record of the
startling changes in his mind and his life.
