- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 20 May, 2025 at 11:00 am – Tue, 20 May, 2025 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Banned Book Club is led by Bryn Durgin. May's selection is   "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes.About this EventThe Banned Book Club is led by Bryn Durgin. It is dedicated to reading and protecting the most important and threatened books for our generation. May's pick is Flowers for Algernon, winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. It's a classic story about a man who receives an operation that turns him into a genius (and introduces him to heartache). The book has been challenged because of "explicit language" and "sexual content." We will meet in person in the loft at our store at The Mark, 117 S. Pineapple Ave. The book club is $18.99, which includes a copy of Flowers for Algernon to be picked up at Bookstore1 any time before our meeting.About the book:Charlie Gordon is about to embark upon an unprecedented journey. Born with an unusually low IQ, he has been chosen as the perfect subject for an experimental surgery that researchers hope will increase his intelligence-a procedure that has already been highly successful when tested on a lab mouse named Algernon.As the treatment takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment appears to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount importance, until Algernon suddenly deteriorates. Will the same happen to Charlie?Daniel Keyes (1927 - 2014) was born in Brooklyn, New York, and received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Brooklyn College. He was the author of eight books, including the classic Flowers for Algernon, first published in 1966, which would go on to sell more than five million copies and inspire the film Charly. He also worked as a merchant seaman, fiction editor, high school teacher, and university professor, and won the Hugo and Nebula awards for his work.About Book Bans:Book bans in public schools have recurred throughout American history, and remain an issue of concern to us at Bookstore1Sarasota. Over the past years, the scope of such censorship has expanded rapidly. In the 2023-2024 school year, PEN America counted more than 10,000 book bans in public schools. And everywhere, it is the books that have long fought for a place on the shelf that are being targeted. Books by authors of color, by LGBTQ+ authors, by women. Books about racism, sexuality, gender, history. PEN America pushes back against censorship and the intolerance and exclusion that undergird it.
