Daniel Keyes himself does the latter for us, and in doing so makes the creation of one man's world, if not a repeatable phenomenon, at least comprehensible and familiar.
Keyes, expecting to be a doctor and learning the hard way that medicine is not his path.
These are not parallels to which Keyes draws attention, but it must be said that his book does not answer its own very important question, instead leaving the reader to make sense of it if she can.

Daniel Keyes wrote little SF but is highly regarded for one classic, Flowers for Algernon.
This award-winning novel by Daniel Keyes is nearly perfect in its execution, with perhaps the minor quibble of some dated slang that's a slight detraction.
Keyes doesn't hit a false note in his story of the rise and fall of Charlie, a mentally retarded custodian at a bakery who briefly becomes a towering genius thanks to an experimental brain operation, only to loose it all as the effects turn out to be temporary.

 Daniel Keyes: Flowers for Algernon - an infinity plus review
In a mere 216 pages, Keyes proves that all you really need to do is take a simple idea, state it in an uncomplicated manner, and let the characters work things out for themselves.
The success of Keyes' book stems from his careful unveiling of Charlie's nature and the effect he has on the people around him.
As Charlie's intellect increases, so his relationships with those around him changes, and Keyes keeps that central to the story, making it not so much the tale of a scientific experiment, as a morality play about how precious intelligence is, and how people can abuse and misuse it.

 Amazon.de: Flowers for Algernon.: English Books: Daniel Keyes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Daniel Keyes' book is at once a compelling fantasy, and heartbreaking, epic love story, written in such fresh, creative prose that it instantly takes the shape of a classic.
His trick of using immature vocabulary, spelling and grammar to signify a character at the beginning of his journey, and much more eloquent language to show the pinnacle of their development is also not new; Walker uses both of these in 'The Color Purple'.
What Keyes does though, is take the narrative and turn it back on itself until the story becomes completely rewound and we are back where we started.
