[Opinions] Re: Algernon

I've liked it a lot since I first saw it. I know a lot of people associate it with some play called Flowers for Algernon, but I've never seen that play. I think Algernon is beautiful and sophisticated. I don't like the nn's Alger and Algie, though. Alger means algae in Swedish.

Quotesome play called Flowers for Algernon, but I've never seen that play.

It's a book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowers_for_Algernon

There have been plays based on it but the original material is a book.

If you’re interested, the movie “Charly” was based on it. It’s a pretty good film. Worth seeing.
