What reading level is The Keeper of Hands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Frau Mutzenbacher herself had noted, it was highly unlikely Mitzi’s customers would use their real names. But a quick perusal of the list once he was outside on the street showed him he was wrong. One of the customers had actually scrawled his real name: Richard Engländer. A joke, perhaps? Few in Vienna knew him by that name.
Werthen had recognized him from the funeral photo and from Fanny’s description of the unusual customer who wore sandals and had flowing moustaches.
The impressionist cof...fee-house poet Engländer had, like Salten, eschewed his Jewish roots and taken a pseudonym, Peter Altenberg. He had also recently become a Catholic, if Werthen remembered rightly. Son of a prosperous Viennese businessman, the young Altenberg managed to avoid the family business when a psychiatrist declared the excitable youth medically unfit for employment.
Altenberg’s prose poems and vignettes – he called them extracts from life – caught the flavor of Vienna on the fly: faces at a coffee-house, a bear act at the Ronacher theater, a mouse on the loose in a hotel, and girls.
