What reading level is The Signal And Other Stories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have lied, and deceived, and deluded even myself. Just as a swindler borrows money right and left, deceiving people with fictitious stories of his wealth — of wealth he has never received, but neverthe- less declares to exist — so I all my life have lied to myself. Now the day of reckoning has arrived, and I am bankrupt — a fraudulent bankrupt. " He dwelt on these words with a perverted sense of enjoyment. He appeared to be almost proud of them. He did not perceive that in designating his who...le life a fraud, and in besmearing himself, he was telling lies at that very moment — the worst possible description of lie — a self-lie, because he did not in reality place any- thing like so low an estimate on himself. Had anyone charged him with even a tenth part of what he had accused 7 98 A NIGHT himself of during that long evening, his face would have flushed, but not with the flush of shame and recognition of the truth of such reproaches, but with the flush of anger. He would have known how to answer the offender who had touched the pride which he was himself now appar- ently trampling on so pitilessly.
