How hard is Язычники to read?

Язычники scores 33 out of 100 for difficulty on ReadingRate, making it moderately challenging. The score is a weighted composite of nine measures: four of how hard the prose is to parse, five of how hard the meaning is to extract.

Vocabulary: 35 out of 100: The book runs about 27,500 words, which is short-story or novella length. Nothing recorded points to archaic, technical or invented language, so it sits near the accessible contemporary fiction of Beach Read rather than the ornate prose of Lolita.
Sentence structure: 33 out of 100: Nothing recorded suggests experimental or heavily nested syntax. A short work of leisurely stories most likely uses plain contemporary sentences, closer to Beach Read than to The Great Gatsby.
Abstraction: 38 out of 100: The book is described as stories about nature, upbringing and responsibility for dependents, which points to concrete everyday situations with a moral thread. It lands near It Ends with Us in groundedness, with slightly more reflection.
Information density: 28 out of 100: At 27,500 words in a story format, the book has little room for sprawling plotlines or encyclopedic digressions. A leisurely pace suggests light density, comparable to Beach Read.
Narrative indirection: 35 out of 100: Stories about upbringing and responsibility are likely to state their concerns fairly openly. Nothing recorded suggests fragmented or unreliable narration, so the book sits between Beach Read and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Symbolic density: 38 out of 100: A focus on nature and humanity's treatment of it can carry some symbolic weight. Nothing recorded shows dense allegory, so the book sits well below The Great Gatsby, near the restrained symbolism of The Remains of the Day.
Ironic distance: 30 out of 100: The description calls the stories leisurely and concerned with a piggish attitude toward nature, which hints at gentle critique. Nothing shows sustained satire, so the book rates above the sincere voice of Anne Frank and below Notes from Underground.
Resolution withholding: 30 out of 100: Short stories on responsibility and upbringing usually close their episodes without much ambiguity. Nothing recorded suggests open-ended experimentation, so the book sits close to Beach Read and It Ends with Us.
Structural complexity: 28 out of 100: The book is a collection of separate stories, which gives modular rather than intricate structure. Nothing recorded suggests nested narrators or timeline games, so it sits above the linear Beach Read and well below Flights.
