What's a good book that unfolds over a short time in-story? No spoilers, thanks. - eviltoast

Everything takes place over a few hours, or entirely set during the immediate aftermath of an automobile crash, for example?

I’d like to avoid “and it was all a dream”, time travel, or similar plot devices if possible.

I’m curious what a novel of any length purposely confined to a strict time window in-story reads like.

Maybe I should be reading more plays.

Thanks.

    I haven’t read it yet, but Martin Riker’s novel The Guest Lecture apparently takes place in the mind of a professor lying awake in bed the night before she’s supposed to deliver a lecture.
