What reading level is Fiction As Art And Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
FICTION AS ART AND LIFE 41 The function of any story is to interest competent readers, an end to be achieved only by presenting life, the experience of the individual body and soul as it is or might be; the function of the writer of any story is to search the life he knows or creates in order to find and reveal its compelling phases. No other task can satisfy an able mind ; no other result can effect the stimulation of a reader implied by the word interest. For to entertain, merely, is not to i...nterest. Life, then, simply as such, without qualification or exclusion of parts, is the substance, the material of fiction. And by the inherent nature of the vital process, the oppo- sition between the living individual and his or her en- vironment, all life is comprised of separate progressions of opposition which are the coherent units of fiction as well as of life itself.
IV The ultimate utility of fiction — for all arts have a cultural utility, a capacity to develop in those who enjoy them new powers of self-realization, new capaci- ties to react to the magnetism of life — is not far to seek ; all knowledge is empirical, the human mind learns only through experience, primary or secondary, and fiction is vicarious experience.
