What do you consider to be "good dialogue" in fiction?

>>24471987 (OP)
If it's written by me
Otherwise it's shit

It makes me feel visceral emotion or makes me go "damn I wish I could've written that".

Is every piece of dialogue supposed to evoke those feelings?

>>24471987 (OP)
It should never be obvious what is being said

>>24472025
Yeah every single line in the entire novel

Mostly the absence of quotation marks - in addition to removing eyesores - is a good indicator. HE SAID SHE SAID shouldn't be necessary, and ought to be strategically deployed if at all.

1. an antinomy occurs as an infinite quantity tends toward an affirmation or negation
2. paralogism is the modulation of this operation with regard to the subject
