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?

The dashes rather than quotation marks make me wonder if this is a draft and his staff has not gotten around to doing the complete editing work.
