Kinda but not necessarily. I was thinking more in the style of old books that made up a conversation between two or more fictional characters (e.g. a teacher and student) to communicate the thesis of the work. Think Platonic dialogues.
The other day I was reading a book on heraldry from around the 16th century and it was interesting in that it taught the subject in form of a dialogue between three dudes. The book "Surreal Numbers" by Conway is a math book written as a conversation between a guy and his gf who find a weird inscription on a rock while on vacation and try to decipher it.
"Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata" by Ørberg, a Latin language learning book, has many chapters written as dialogues too. It teaches you latin by following the story of a roman family and their slaves, lol.
And I remember at least one japanese (travel?) blog in which the author made up a few characters who discussed his whereabouts. Fun stuff. It's difficult, but more people should do it.
Like Hunter S. Thompson?
