Ik las een van Wallace’ vroegste verhalen — en herkende hem meteen aan zijn stijl, toon, thematiek én leestekens. In het bijzonder de em-dash (—), dat hij inzet als literaire aarzeling en ritmebepaler. In deze blog leg ik het verschil uit tussen koppelteken, minteken, en de twee soorten gedachtestreepjes.

Oh, but the em-dash is »the normal European method of marking dialog«. Eastern European? Not really German, or English.
