Banned Book Club - Flowers for Algernon
Advertisement
Join us over at Moon Hollow Brewing to discuss the classic Flowers for Algernon, winner of the Hugo Award in 1960, when it was published as a short story, and of the Nebula Award in 1966 after it was expanded into a novel.
The story is told as a series of progress reports written by Charlie, the first human subject of an experimental surgery to increase intelligence. Often banned and challenged due to Charlie’s struggles to understand his sexual urges and for touching upon the issues of mental disabilities, human exploitation, and morality.
No sign-up is necessary and everyone is welcome!
