Jen Levine asked this question about Long Bright River:
Does anyone have any idea what the author would choose to write this book without any quotation marks?
T.J. Gillespie This is very common in European literature. Joyce made it popular for writers in English. Roddy Doyle, Tessa Hadely, others. It's simply a matter of style.

Katrina When Roddy Doyle does it, the work is enhanced. There was no benefit to using that style in Long Bright River. It felt contrived.
