I know this basically amounts to a request thread, but has anyone come across a work of fiction where there is no division between speech, thought and narration? Where there is no punctuation to separate spoken words from either thoughts or narrative frame? I think maybe one of those books by Bernhard or Krasznahorkai might be like what I'm talking about, but I've never read them so I wouldn't know.

Actually, I believe Beckett wrote some of his works in the manner Im talking about, but I can't recall any specific ones.

Beckett did indeed write with this ambiguity, especially in the Unnamable. He inherited it from Joyce who utilizes it in Ulysses.
More recent major example is Gravity's Rainbow

Some BolaƱo short stories do this. By Night in Chile somewhat - it's much like Bernhard.

Technically, the Hebrew Bible (that is, the Old Testament, but in the Biblical Hebrew) had no punctuation.

Just after I posted this I remembered Kerouac's original manuscript and looked up my copy. He gets at the frantic pace and democratic format, but he still uses quotation marks.

I remember Beckett doing this in his earlier novels, but I couldn't recall if there was very much dialogue in his trilogy (aside from Moran's section). You're right, though. I haven't read GR yet (only a few passages).

Dammit if my copy of Nocturno de Chile isn't buried under 30 other books in a corner of my back closet then I don't know where it is, but I'll look into it again. Thanks.

Thanks for these, guys.

Dialogue is marked differently though

The Sound and the Fury, Ulysses

Las intermitencias de la muerte, by Saramago.

>>8772861
Blood Meridian

Took me a few pages to catch on and realize speakers were changing, even to/from the narrator.

Oh yeah, the first two chapters of The Sound and the Fury would definitely fit into the category. Absalom, Absalom too.

The Waves.

Last exit to Brooklyn.

this and the tunnel by gass both float in and out of narration and speech without really making note of it.
