Yes, I recently finished
Cain by Saramago and there was a distinct lack of punctuation there. One sentence might be the dialogue of one character. The next might be from a different character.
It was a bit of a jolt at the start as I was thinking there might have been something seriously wrong with the formatting of my ebook. Then I remembered that Saramago was known for this and after a while, it became easier. However, I think I would have preferred the more traditional approach.
