What reading level is Diana book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I’d never taught in a gringo university. What I imagined was a bucolic haven surrounded by lakes, with ivy-covered libraries—and good stationers, the supreme attraction the Anglo-Saxon world holds for me.
I feel a professional distress in Latin countries: the low quality of the paper, my work material, is a negative comparable to a painter’s being deprived of paint or given brushes but no canvases. The ink bleeds through notebooks made in Mexico; Spanish paper comes right out of the ancient merc...antile or accounting world Pérez Galdós describes in his novels—it’s first cousin to the abacus and brother to parchment—and in France a sourpuss salesgirl blocks the way to any writer curious to smell, touch, or feel the nearness of paper.
In the Anglo-Saxon world, by contrast, the paper is as smooth as silk, the selection brilliant, extensive, well-ordered. To enter a stationery store in London or New York is to penetrate a paradise of writerly fruits, pens that fly like hawks, pads that are as pliant and responsive as a loving hand, paper clips that are silver brooches, portfolios as grand as protocols, labels that are credentials, notebooks that are deuteronomies … For years, I would go back to Mexico loaded with satin-paper notebooks for my friend Fernando Benítez so that he could write his great books about the survival of indigenous cultures in Mexico comfortably and sensually.
