What reading level is The School of Night: a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each street you walk down seems to have only just happened. In my search for historical paradigms I once read the work of Walter Benjamin and was fascinated by his notion that the past has an afterlife which is neither more nor less than our consciousness of it, and that unless we struggle to sustain this afterlife, in our ceaseless polemic with time, the past will die once more. More importantly I seized upon, or perhaps was impregnated with, his concept of the dialectical image, by the simple ...law of which the products of any given society contain within themselves both an aspect of the past and an aspect of the future, the former as a memory trace riddled cunningly into its technology, and the latter as an unconscious vision, whether dream or nightmare, or even sheer hallucination. Every commodity, every instrument, can be seen as a little moon containing a series of occulted faces, which are revealed only through darkness and revolution. Thus do the objects themselves dream what is to come, an impending world which has already started to engulf and obliterate them, though a few will survive, severed from all that once kept them alive, like fragments of bone in a reliquary.
