Maybe it was a criticism of the original edition that was changed for the later editions? My copy is a paperback, published in 2006, the year after first publication. It has the italics rather than quotation marks.

It didn't really bother me once I got used to it. I accepted it as part of the narration of what happened. There weren't extended conversations, just a phrase or a sentence here and there, a bit like including a quote from an original document within the body of an essay.
