What reading level is Cuba And the Night book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Linares, El Niño, was coming out of his teens then; Victor Mesa, El Loco, was still running the bases like a madman, wiggling his hips every time he jumped on home plate; Ajete was coming in from the bull pen to throw smoke. No one knew how old these guys were—some of them had been on the team for twenty years—but still they played like the Revolution in cleats: sharp, cocky, full of bravado. They played baseball the way Capablanca played chess: in the high Cuban style, all glitter and flamboyan...ce. And I knew they’d be a story for years to come—the Pan Am Games in Havana, the Olympics in Barcelona, the increasing pressure to defect. Fidel’s last PR weapon, storming the world and exporting the Revolution. I’m going to shoot the latest incarnation of the Havana Sugar Kings, I told the editor, the team whose last game was canceled in 1959 because Fidel had just taken the capital; the truth was, I was going to shoot Lula.
It was never hard to find anyone in those days in Havana: you just had to walk down the street, and you’d meet eyes in the darkness, or find friends leaning out of windows, or see schoolboys coming toward you with a smile.
