What reading level is The Imaginary Girlfriend book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For a brief moment I tried working with Nelson Algren, who—except for the unnamed Instructor C- from my unsuccessful days in Pittsburgh—represented my first encounter with a critic of an unconstructive nature. I was attracted to Mr. Algren’s rough charm, but he didn’t much care for me or my writing. I was “too fancy” a writer for his taste, he told me; and, worse (I suspect), I was not a city boy who’d been schooled on the mean streets. I was a small-town boy and a private-school brat; I was eve...n more privileged than Algren knew—I was a “faculty brat.” The best tutor for a young writer, in Mr. Algren’s clearly expressed view, was real life, by which I think he meant an urban life. In any case, my life had not been “real” enough to suit him; and it troubled him that I was a wrestler, not a boxer—the latter was superior to the former, in Mr. A.’s opinion. He was always good-natured in his teasing of me, but there was a detectable disdain behind his humor. And I was not a poker player, which I think further revealed to Algren the shallowness of my courage.
