One thing I'm curious about: In these novels without quotation marks, would it be possible to go through and insert the quotes (if you were that way inclined)? Or is the text somehow written so that it wouldn't make sense to do so?

If it would be possible to insert quotation marks then what exactly is the literary advantage of leaving them off?
