To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To read them, after even the finest stories of deMaupassant or Murray Gilchrist, is like having a bath after a ball. Theireffect is extraordinarily one of ingenuousness. Of course they are not inthe least ingenuous, as a fact, but self-conscious and elaborate to thehighest degree. The progress of every art is an apparent progress fromconventionality to realism. The basis of convention remains, but as theart develops it finds more and more subtle methods fitting life to theconvention or the conv...ention to life--whichever you please. Tchehkoff'stales mark a definite new conquest in this long struggle. As you read himyou fancy that he must always have been saying to himself: "Life is goodenough for me. I won't alter it. I will set it down as it is. " Such is thetribute to his success which he forces from you.
