  "WHY EXPERIMENTAL FICTION THREATENS TO DESTROY PUBLISHING, JONATHAN FRANZEN, AND LIFE AS WE KNOW IT" A Correction
  by Ben Marcus
  
  "...None of this would be particularly compelling if it wasn’t also supported by the king of readability tests, The Lexile Framework for Reading, which bills itself as a ‘scientific approach to reading and text measurement’ ...It uses a mathematical formula and colossal database to help educators match students to texts, and it throws around phrases like ‘targeted reading experience,’ ‘syntactic complexity,’ and ‘forecasted comprehension rate.’ Using benchmark titles like Danny and the Dinosaur and Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals, the Lexile scale covers readers from first grade to graduate school."
