What reading level is The Truth About An Author book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My new intimates were not only keenly apprecia- tive of beauty, they were bent on creating it.
They dreamed of great art-works, lovely compo- sitions, impassioned song. Music and painting they were familiar with, and from me they were serenely sure of literature. The glorious accent with which they clothed that word — literature!
THE TRUTH ABOUT AN AUTHOR 41 Aware beforehand of my authority, my enthu- siasm, they accepted me with quick, warm sym- pathy as a fellow-idealist. Then they desired to... know what I was engaged upon, what my aims were, and other facts exceedingly difficult to furnish.
It happened that the most popular of all popular weeklies had recently given a prize of a thousand pounds for a sensational serial. When the serial had run its course, the editor offered another prize pf twenty guineas for the best hiunorous condensation of it in two thousand words. I thought I might try for that, but I feared that my friends would not consider it " art." I was mistaken. They pointed out that caricature was a perfectly legitimate form of art, often leading to much original beauty, and they urged me to enter the lists.
