Question: Has the use of quotation marks for dialogue in fiction fallen out of favour, or has this always been a thing and haven't I picked up on it before?

I'm now reading the third book in a row (currently The Prophet Song by Paul Lynch, before that The Promise by Damon Galgut and No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy) and all three don't have dialogue marks.

Is this a stylistic choice on the author's part? Is this to make the pages seem calmer? Is this to save ink on pages? And is this really a new thing or haven't I just woken up to it before?

The World Of The Book exhibition at the State Library of Victoria is marvellous and free. Not only is the location beautiful, the exhibition is well laid out, superbly curated and informative. @bookstodon

I'm looking for some recommendations on podcasts about books, preferably fiction. It can either be deep-dives or quick reviews of new or favourite books.
Either in English (Australian), Dutch or German.
I really have no point of reference 🙂
