What is the setting for Flowers for Algernon?

Hospital

What is the setting for Flowers for Algernon?
There are 2 primary settings, Charly's room and the hospital and one secondary setting, the bakery where he worked.





As the novel opens, much of the action takes place in Charly's room and the bakery, but as the novel progresses, the action shifts more and more to the hospital and hospital-like settings (the lab). As the novel winds down, the gradual reverse shift begins, back to Charly's room and the bakery.
Reply:The setting of Flowers for Algernon is New York City, with a brief episode in Chicago, in the present or near future.
