What reading level is The Collected Stories of Hortense Calisher book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From bench to bench in the narrow strip of park down the center, voices bumbled softly against one another, as from undersea diver to diver, through the fuzzy, dark medium of the evening.
Over toward the river, groups of girls and boys in their teens foraged for mischief and experience in the anonymous blur of the shadows, but Hester, bound to her mother, sat between her and her father’s elderly cousins on a bench that they kept to themselves, repairing somewhat, by this separation, the déclassé... gesture of sitting in the park. Across from them, in the big gray apartment house, Hester could see the long, lit string of their own windows—at one end the great, full swags of the Belgian-lace curtains of the living room, and around the corner the faint glow of her grandmother’s night light.
Outwardly, it was because of her grandmother that their home swirled continuously with family company, but actually the visitors spent no more than a token time with the old lady, whom longevity had made remarkable but unapproachable other than as a household god.
