What reading level is Hunger book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They managed : she and he managed : work still was, although it was spaced and intervalled like a neglected storm-blown hedge. Here was a week and there an- other one, and from it they gleaned their spare constricted existence.
They did not complain : those who are down do /not complain. Nor did they know they were down ; or, knowing it, they did not admit their downness ; for to face a fact is to face with naked hands a lion, and to admit is to give in, to be washed away and to be lost and dro...wned ; anonymous, unhelpable, alive no more, but debris, or a straw which the wind takes and sails or tears or drifts or rots to powder and forgetfulness. A bone in a world of bones ! And they gnawed these bones until it seemed that nothing moved in the world or was alive except their teeth.
The winter came, and his work stopped as it always did in that season ; he got jobs cleaning windows, he got jobs at the HUNGER docks hoisting things which not Hercules nor the devil himself could lift, but which he could lift, or which his teeth and the teeth of his children detached from the ground as from foundations and rivet- tings; he got a job as a coalman, and as a night-watchman sitting in the angle of a black street before a bucket of stinking coal which had been a fire until the rain put it out ; to-day he had a job, but to- morrow and for a week he had none.
