The conversation is reported with the usual novelistic markers of dialogue, and yet Luis and Sam are not in the same room; they are not even talking, but conversing on "Gmail chat". A common literary approach is to transcribe such exchanges in a sans-serif font; in writing them instead as traditional conversations, Lin is arguing that, for his characters, this constitutes talking to someone just as much as standing in front of them and speaking aloud.
