What reading level is The Road Through the Wall book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
John Farrar wrote to Shirley Jackson after receiving the manuscript of The Road Through the Wall, her first novel. It was July 1947, almost exactly a year before the appearance of “The Lottery” in The New Yorker would make Jackson the most talked-about short story writer in America, but her career was already off to a promising start. The previous few years had seen nearly a dozen of her stories published in The New Yorker, as well as other respected magazines. After Jackson gave birth to her fi...rst child, a son, in 1942, the family relocated to Vermont so that her husband, the literary critic Stanley Edgar Hyman, could teach at Bennington College. There Jackson began writing The Road Through the Wall.
Jackson once told her daughter Sarah that “the first book is the book you have to write to get back at your parents. . . . Once you get that out of your way, you can start writing books.” The parental crime to be avenged may have been simply the Jacksons’ effort to provide their daughter with a typical suburban childhood—to which she was by all accounts spectacularly unsuited.
