What reading level is The Spectator Bird book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This morning at breakfast she braced me. How about coming down and talking to the old folks about contemporary writers? I would be surprised how much they read and how responsive they were.
I said what if I couldn’t think of a contemporary writer I wanted to talk about.
“Oh, for heaven’s sake, don’t be that wayl There are dozens.”
I said name one.
She looked at me pretty stormily. It is her opinion that my distaste for many kinds of contemporary novelists, including the critic-intellectuals, the... mythologizers, the fantasizers, the black humorists, the absurds, the grotesques, and the sexualizers, is as pigheaded as my prejudices against the young. She is of course right, I wouldn’t argue with her. By definition a prejudice is a principle that its owner does not intend to examine. Which does not prove it is wrong. And what a comforting thing it is.
“How would I discuss the compulsory sex scenes with the old folks?” I said. “Do I start with the accepted major premise: if they aren’t fucking it isn’t fiction?
