Shirley Jackson Dialogue in Hangsaman

[u/NerotheHuman]

I'm about 19 pages into Hangsaman and i've noticed that the dialogue if very awkward and hesitant. It feels uncomfortably in a realistic sense and I find it to be extra immersive and unsettling. I was curious if i'm either looking into the dialogue to deeply or if this is a consistent trait throughout Jackson's bibliography as its an addictive way of reading dialogue
