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?
Louise I like the dashes better. They make things flow better for the eyes and in turn for the story.
