What reading level is The Jolly Corner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hischoked appeal from his own open window had been the sole note of life, and he could but break off at last as for a worse despair. Yet while sodeeply demoralised he was capable again of an impulse denoting--at leastby his present measure--extraordinary resolution; of retracing his stepsto the spot where he had turned cold with the extinction of his lastpulse of doubt as to there being in the place another presence than hisown. This required an effort strong enough to sicken him; but he had hi...sreason, which over-mastered for the moment everything else. There wasthe whole of the rest of the house to traverse, and how should he screwhimself to that if the door he had seen closed were at present open? Hecould hold to the idea that the closing had practically been for him anact of mercy, a chance offered him to descend, depart, get off the groundand never again profane it. This conception held together, it worked;but what it meant for him depended now clearly on the amount offorbearance his recent action, or rather his recent inaction, hadengendered.
