A Goodreads user asked this question about
The Lincoln Highway:
I find the use of long dashes instead of quotation marks very distracting. It takes me out of the story. Does anyone know why this punctuation choice was made?
Carmen
I had never even thought about NOT having quotation marks, but it really worked for me. Not surprising that it may have been inspired by James Joyce.
