What reading level is The Craft of Fiction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The effect I am thinking of isdifferent from that of which I spoke in the matter of Tolstoy's greatcycles of action; there we saw the march of time recording itself, affirming its ceaseless movement, in the lives of certain people. Thisof Thackeray's is not like that; time, at Castlewood, is notmovement, it is tranquillity--time that stands still, as we say, onlydeepening as the years go. It cannot therefore be shown as a sequence;and Thackeray roams to and fro in his narrative, caring little f...or theconnected order of events if he can give the sensation of time, deepand soft and abundant, by delaying and returning at ease over thistract of the past. It would be possible, I think, to say veryprecisely where and how the effect is made--by what leisurely playwith the chronology of the story, apparently careless andunmethodical, or by what shifting of the focus, so that the house ofCastlewood is now a far-away memory and now a close, benevolentpresence. Time, at any rate, is stored up in the description of thechild's life there, quiet layers of time in which the recordedincidents sink deep.
