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.
@Varyk How short a time are we talking?
This one might be a bit of a cheat, but: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. Technically everything happens within a day.
A day is good, and I love that title.
I didn’t have a hard and fast timeline going in deliberately, i’m more interested in all of your recommendations.
I’ll definitely be looking into that, thanks.
