What reading level is Melancholy Elephants book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is the first edition of one of my books to be published exclusively in Canada (Only in Canada, you say? Pretty!), and the first collection of my short stories to be marketed to a non-genre audience. As the majority of my readers have heretofore been American science fiction readers, perhaps we should talk.
Science fiction? You mean rocketships and rayguns and cute li’l robots? Alien monsters, evil computers, expensive special effects?
Well, no. You won’t find any of that here. You’r...e confusing modern science fiction with sci-fi—a perfectly understandable error. Sci-fi—the plural of “scum fum”—refers to certain very bad films made by Hollywood and/or Canadian dentists in need of tax shelters. Sf, on the other hand, (lower case) is the correct abbreviation for science fiction, the literature of speculative entertainment; deprived of novel visual effects, we try to substitute novel ideas. Our only connection with the movies is that they feel free to steal our ideas whenever the special effects budget falls short.
