Daniel Keyes was 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.

Keyes was born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York. At age 17, he joined the U.S. Maritime Service as ship's purser. He obtained a B.A. in psychology from Brooklyn College, and after a stint in fashion photography (partner in a photography studio), earned a Master's Degree in English and American Literature at night while teaching English in New York City public schools during the day and writing weekends.

In the early 1950s, he was editor of the pulp magazine Marvel Science Fiction for publisher Martin Goodman. Circa 1952, Keyes was one of several staff writers, officially titled editors, who wrote for such horror and science fiction comics as Journey into Unknown Worlds, for which Keyes wrote two stories with artist Basil Wolverton. From 1955-56, Keyes wrote for the celebrated EC Comics, including its titles Shock Illustrated and Confessions Illustrated, under both his own name and the pseudonyms Kris Daniels, A.D. Locke and Dominik Georg.

The short story and subsequent novel, Flowers for Algernon, is written as progress reports of a mentally disabled man, Charlie, who undergoes experimental surgery and briefly becomes a genius before the effects tragically wear off. The story was initially published in the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and the expanded novel in 1966. The novel has been adapted several times for other media, most prominently as the 1968 film Charly, starring Cliff Robertson (who won an Academy Award for Best Actor) and Claire Bloom. He also won the Hugo Award in 1959 and the Nebula Award in 1966.

Keyes went on to teach creative writing at Wayne State University, and in 1966 he became an English and creative writing professor at Ohio University, in Athens, Ohio, where he was honored as a professor emeritus in 2000.

Keyes' other books include The Fifth Sally, The Minds of Billy Milligan, The Touch, Unveiling Claudia, and the memoir Algernon, Charlie, and I: A Writer's Journey.

"我在情感上多少已经偏离每一个人、每一件事。当我游荡在黑暗的街头，我在那里能找到的最后陌路上，其实是在寻觅一种方式，想在保持智识自由的同时，让自己的情感也再次归属于人群。我必须成长，对我来说，这是最重要的事······"

学习是件很奇怪的事，走得越远，越知道自己连知识存在何处都不清楚。不久之前，我还愚蠢地以为我可以学会一切事情，掌握世上所有知识。如今，我只希望我能知道知识的存在，了解其中的沧海一粟。

　　我不愿假装自己已经懂得神秘的爱情，然而这次真的有所不同，超乎了性和利用女性的身躯，宛若浮离地面、恐惧和痛苦，化成比自我还重要的一部分。我被移出心灵暗穴，进驻至别人的身躯。这种感觉如同那天在心理治疗课程经历到的一样——我即将脱离，奔向宇宙或宇宙之外。在那儿，我和爱丽丝将融合在一起，重塑人类性灵，让它不朽。先是蓬松往外膨胀，然后又收缩往内收敛，共同奏出混合呼吸、心跳、白日和黑夜的生命韵律，以及身体互相融合后激发出回音的旋律。我以这种方式再度回到上次那种奇怪的境界里。一片灰雾从我心灵底处往上飘升，光线穿透云雾射进了我的脑海（多么奇怪，那道光线应该是暗淡的才是！）然后，我的身体被吸入宇宙空海中，装载在一个奇怪的受洗盆里接受洗礼，并且因为施舍而开始瑟缩颤抖，爱丽丝的身躯则因受取而开始发出微颤。

　　我们两人以这种方式互相融合，沉浸在爱意里，直到黑夜慢慢脱离，静日悄悄降临。我依偎在她身旁，悟出肉体之爱的重要性，以及两人互相拥抱、互相施受的必要性。宇宙再度爆炸开来，里面的分子互相推离，将我们两人拥入隐晦黝黑寂静的太空中，然后两人永远相隔——如同婴儿已脱离子宫独立，友人必须互道别离重新上路，朝各自的终极目标狂奔而去——孤独的死亡。

　　虽然如此，天地之间仍有一股稳定平衡的反作用力，将人类互相牵制住，以避免被太空中的风暴吹散。因此，我们的身躯都系在人类的锁链里，以防被强风吹散成虚无。

这不全是真的，”我轻声说，“但我学到光是智慧没有太大意义。在你的大学里，智能、教育与知识都是大家崇拜的偶像。雨我现在知道，你们一直忽略了某件事：如果没有人性情感的调和，智慧与教育根本毫无价值。”

我从旁边的餐柜端了另一杯酒，然后继续说教。

“不要误解我的意思，”我说，“智慧是人类最伟大的恩赐之只是在追寻知识的过程中，对爱的追寻往往就被搁在一旁。这是我自己最近发现的结论。我可以把这个假设提供你参考：没有能力给予和接受爱情的智慧，会促成心智与道德上的崩溃，形成神经官能症，甚至精神病。而且我还要说，只知专注在心智本身以致排除人际关系并因此形成封闭的自我中心，只会导致暴力与痛苦。

“当我还是弱智的时候，我有许多朋友，现在却半个也没有。当然，我认识一些人，很多很多人，但没有任何朋友，这和我在面包店时的情况不同。世上没有一个朋友对我有任何意义，我也不对世上的任何人有意义。”我发现我说的话变得含糊，头有点轻飘飘。“这样是不对的，对吗？”我继续撑着，“我的意思是说，你觉得如何？你认为这……这样对吗？”

“我不能帮你做决定，查理。你要的答案不在书本里，也不能靠别人来解决，除非你想一辈子当小孩。你必须在自我内部找到答案，感受到该做的正确事情。查理，你必须学习信任自己。”

当我试着与美国文学专家讨论乔叟、向东方学家请教特罗布里恩岛人的生活，或是与专精青少年行为调查的社会学家探讨自动化引起的失业问题时，也都得到相同的结果。他们总是找到借口开溜，害怕暴露他们知识范围的狭窄。
