Plucked from here:
...novelist Jon McGregor admitted that he was often less interested in his characters' direct speech than what they left unsaid. His second novel, So Many Ways To Begin, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize, is full of unspoken truths and fractured interactions. "I'm more interested in two people sitting at a table not quite able to explain to each other how they feel than the author telling the reader what these two people are feeling," he said.Certainly!
"There's something very interesting about listening to people, realising they're not saying what they mean, that they expect you to read between the lines."
